Last night my heart broke (and was inspired at the same time) as the hero and heroine fought for justice, fought to protect the rights of a people. Although battles were won there was no happy ending. It’s a fictionalized account of one heart-breaking history that represents many around the world. There will always be people to perpetuate injustice, and always people to fight against it. There will never - as long as we are a fallen people separated from God – be peace.
At the end of the episode…
Heroine: He did it, he brought peace
Hero: For how long?
Heroine: Now. We have peace now.
For now. I guess that’s all we can fight for.

I'm reading a book now by Dave Eggers, called "What is the What". It is the tale of one of the "Lost Boys" of Sudan - basically, war rips his life apart (6 years old) and he wanders the deserts for years, living in hell-on-earth. I cannot fathom this kind of suffering, and it is tearing me apart. I have no words...
I read a similar book called "they poured fire on us from the sky"...unbelievable
