Heroes

By Jared Jenkins

In war, there are lives risked and lives taken

Men and women giving their best to defend what they love

They defend their country

Their honor

Their people

Some call them soldiers

Others call them heroes

Our veterans have risked their lives for us

They have lived through hell and fought with honor

Many have killed

And regret doing so

For every life, there is a soul

For every soul, there is a life

For those who have died, we show great appreciation and remembrance

For those who live, along with them live the horrific memories of battle

Some, memories of defeat

Some, memories of victory

Our veterans were more than soldiers

They were, and still are heroes

As we get ready for the holiday season, there seems to be a growing emphasis on spending and acquiring.  If there has been one lesson I have learned over the last year, it is that we often feel like we have more if we appreciate living with less.  (more…)

I am so lucky to be doing what I love as a career.  I am always looking for ways to pay those blessings forward and help make someone else’s dreams come true.   (more…)
