In a few weeks my brother will be leaving for Iraq. My family had a feeling that he was going to have to go there sooner or later. But i didnt realize it would be this soon. It's really hard to see him go because he is someone that i always can turn too when i really need him the most.  I can't stand hearing the news talking about the war in Iraq because i know that nothing good is coming out of it. All i can do is pray to god and ask him to keep my brother safe.

I remember i was about 12 years old and attending a church in South Lebanon Ohio. That night i remember i had this gut feeling that i should go to church that night. Unfortanately my mom and dad had said that they werent going to church. But that wasnt going to stop me so i went with my grandma and papaw. Instead of setting with my best friend Megan I decided i would set in the pew with my grandma and actually hear the preachers message. After the preacher had made his message and the choir had gone up to sing for some reason tears began to run down my face.
