A different Remembrance day
11/11/11. 93 years since the beacons were first lit, the nation stopped and silence fell to mark the anniversary of the end of the First World War. No doubt all across the country people are writing about today, I was going to. I was going to write about sacrifice and courage, about the nobility of these men and other great heroes. However there is no doubt in my mind that many people will and that they will do it far greater justice than I ever could. Also it occurred to me that maybe tales of great valour are not what everyone needs to hear. On a day when people consider great men, and remember their heroism, let us consider them, and remember their humanity. Turn with me now to Hebrews 11, the heroes of our faith and let us learn what manner of men (and women) these were.
