Did you hear those last lines of the quote from the John McCain video? When you've lived in a box, you will fight so that no one else will have to. Makes me cry.
Because I've lived in a box. I've lived in the darkness of my own sin and others - and I've seen a great light!!!! I understand this analogy. I was certainly never tortured in Hanoi. But I've seen the darkness, the lure of sin and death and I've chosen to walk in the light instead. And now, isn't that right? Isn't it right that the PURPOSE of life is to give glory to the Light - to the Maker of light!?! Yes! And the light is sweet and brilliant because I remember.
I love that this RNC is framed within the focused memory of where John McCain has been. A hero is something you choose to be. Faithful is something you choose to be. And his practice in these areas gives me confidence.
