A friend gave me a long article to read, Af-Pak War Racket: The Obama Illusion Comes Crashing Down, by David DeGraw . The article is a well researched explanation of the dangerous position our country is being placed in by those profiteering by war. My friend asks me what I thought of the article. All I can say to all these facts and information is “I know it but do not want to know it.”

To me the insanity and danger of the present US wars and economy is clear. Articles like this only reinforce my thoughts and urge me to cry out more to stop this madness before it is too late. But I am only one corn stalk in rows and rows of corn stalks. What can I do to stop this plague on all of us?

My only refuge is my faith in God. I said to a friend today who wrote me in need and to a friend who called on her way to a hospital in Madison that I would pray for them in my everyday words and actions.

To pray always takes a lot of discipline and commitment, things I sorely lack. But I can pray for the strength to cry out “like a voice in the wilderness” and to act in a way that I want others to act.

A late night talk show host on Public Radio always ends his show with the saying “Keep the faith.” In times of war and greed, in times of disrespect for human life, all we can do is “keep the faith.”
