Jacob D. Bower

West Point, 2015

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Phillip L. Blansett, Ph.D. (Vietnam Era Vet) on July 22, 2011:

 We grieve, because it is the vocation of those left behind. But in our grief let us rejoice that to the very end he was precisely what he had prepped to be, what he had competed for, what he had hungered for. Was it fair or understandable? "No" says Jesus from His cross. Yet, with certainty, Jacob pressed on doing precisely what was expected of him until he could no longer. And that was what was occurring when Jesus called him home.
