With our nation involved in war, what kind of emotions are you experiencing? With the drums of war beating, and rumors of war, such as nuclear threats coming from North Korea, and terrorist threats against our nation, what are you thinking?

Does this say that we're NOT to be concerned? NO. Some of us may have some friends or family members in the military and we're concerned about them. Rightly so.
Some of us probably have kids and grandkids, and we're concerned that ...
