Korean War Memorial
Today was a very full day. We started off by going to the Embassy of Kuwait for a reception and prayer service. While you are on the property of an international embassy, you are technically on that country's sovereign soil. So we behaved!We then went to the White House for a one mile prayer walk around the outside of the property, and we ended up outside the Executive Office Building for an official White House briefing from the President's staff and other government officials. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to government officials talk about the importance of prayer in their lives. You could sense their personal faith and connection with Christ. Powerful!
After a quick dinner at Union Station, we toured the Vietnam, Korean and Lincoln Memorials. For me this is always a somber time of reflection and thankfulness. I reflect upon the great sacrifice and commitment of those who have served our country, and I'm extremely grateful for this country and our freedom. By the Pool of Remembrance in the Korean War Veteran's Memorial is the etching, "Freedom is not Free." This is not only true in our civil life, but also in our spiritual life. Think about the sacrifice of Christ that purchased our freedom.
