Inspiration

 
"For four busy and heartbreaking years

I have tried to be pastor, parent, and brother to American servicemen and women.

With my own eyes
 
I have seen hundreds become children of God

and begin living for Christ in the most difficult surroundings.

 
I have also seen hundreds of men and women

disintegrate in body, mind, and soul on the very brink of hell.

We stand helplessly by and watch with horror and amazement

as men and women and officers sell themselves

to hell and drag their companions with them.

 My pity goes out to all such, and indeed, any person needs pity

as he faces these evil days without God.

There are no more tears left in my heart to shed for these men and women.

There is only a dread ache which grows steadily more intense

as I see the faces of those without spiritual hope.

 
~ James Bryant, former Army chaplain
