| Father, place Caleb on the stairway to Heaven |
Thank you for serving, Caleb.
Pray for the 20 year old men who die in combat. Yesterday, they were just boys.
Pray without ceasing unto God for an end to this war in Afghanistan. It is enough. We are sick with grief for men like Caleb.
Pray that Caleb is in heaven. Pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen.
