Lest We Forget

This past week my wife met an elderly gentlemen in the drugstore. Kind as usual, and sympathetic because of caring for her own elderly father, she struck up a conversation with him. A few days later, a package arrived with a signed copy of LIFE magazine’s cover from June 12, 1964. Turns out, my wife’s “new friend”, 48 years younger, was leading a South Vietnamese unit on patrol when famed Vietnam War photographer Larry Burrows snapped a photo. She said of their brief talk, “it’s as if he didn’t want to be forgotten.” That’s largely what happened to God’s people in Judges: They forgot. Read why and how we must not forget in today’s blog.
