sacrifice

A call to sacrifice is a good call. It runs against my natural tendency. The willingness to sacrifice is difficult for evolutionists to explain. There is no reason for sacrifice in "survival of the fittest." It is the call of Jesus so it is our call. I would like the Beyond Our Dreams campaign just for the opportunity to sacrifice.

"But in this we shall be remembered
we few, we happy few, we band of brothers
for he who sheds his blood with me this day shall be my brother be he ever so vile
this day shall gentle his condition
and gentlemen in bed now in England shall think themselves accursed
and hold their manhoods cheap whilest any speaks
that fought with us upon St. Crispin's Day"

King Henry was a very cool cat.
