Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

Ordinary Heroes...Update

"He is the descendant of the knight, the crusader; he is the defender of the defenseless and the champion of justice… or he is not a Gentleman."

Not much commentary today.  Just an update on the little girl I talked about in my last post, and a recognition that evil exists and that it is not only the duty of a gentleman to combat evil, but it may even be a divine calling for some to be the instrument of justice and the eradication of that evil.

Here is what my friend Shannon wrote:
"As a means of an update this what the little girl's arm looked like when she arrived at the Field Surgical Team....in this area boiling water on the arm or legs is a common thing to do to children."



The soldiers who do what they do are worthy of double honor not only in their "bearing the sword" against evil, but in their work as ministers of mercy in getting this little one to care that she would not have received otherwise.  
Be what you resolve to be,
Mark
