It's "Just" War

Here is the video of the Just War/Non-Resistance debate that we attended during our trip in March. It was held at Faneuil Hall in Boston. Those speaking in favor of Just War were J. Daryl Charles and Peter Kreeft. Those representing the belief of Non-Resistance were Dean Taylor and David Bercot.

I would enjoy hearing your thoughts on the topic of just war vs. non-resistance, even if you don't watch the debate (although I would encourage you to - it is very good)!

A Special Day

This past Thursday my Father had to go work for a customer in northern Vermont, so two of my sisters and I went along to visit some friends up there. My mother and younger siblings joined us for the evening at one family’s house. Thank you, P. and H. families for such a special day!

On Friday . . .

. . . we went to New Hampshire to visit my Grandpa’s brother and his wife. We had a very nice visit with them (they spoiled us!) and they took us to the SEE Science Center, which was a highlight for all ages. If you're ever in NH, be sure to check it out!

Massachusetts

Leaving New Hampshire on Friday afternoon, my Father and some of us older children went to Boston while my Mother and the rest of my siblings came home. The reason we went to Boston was because some friends of ours down there were having an event this weekend. The first item on the schedule was a debate/discussion about Jesus’ teachings on a what a Christian’s involvement in war should be and was held at Faneuil Hall. (The video will be freely available to the public in the near future, so I will give more details when I post the link to that.) This trip held two firsts for me: my first time being in Boston and my first time riding the T (Boston's subway)! Although it was interesting, I can definitely say that I am not a city girl. :)

This Week

We are spending today here with my grandparents enjoying our last little bit of time together. Tuesday will be spent packing! We’ll leave for Pennsylvania early on Wednesday morning and do a bit of visiting down there. On Thursday we’ll head for Harrisonburg, Virginia where the rest of the family will drop my Mother, two of my siblings, and me off for a Writer’s and Artist’s Conference put on by Christian Light. (I really enjoy writing, so I’m looking forward to developing my writing skills!) The rest of the family will then head home Thursday evening. The four of us will ride home with another family from our church who will be at the conference and, Lord willing, arrive home Saturday evening.

This will be my last post during our trip, so, until next time. . .
