When
the war in Iraq was gearing up, I heard on the evening news that the
media would be given full access to the battlefield and would be accompanying
our troops. I couldn't believe my eyes and ears. I said to my wife,
who was watching with me, that this horrible mistake would be the beginning
of the end.

No doubt patriotic
songs were sung in many churches all over America this past weekend.
Where I worshipped we began with "America the Beautiful" as
a congregational hymn. Then Misty Smith, from New Hope Church in Fayetteville
who is serving as interim minister of music for First Baptist Church
in Gay, stood before the small crowd to sing "The Star Spangled
Banner." Never have I heard a more beautiful and heartfelt rendition
of our national anthem. What a voice!
