There is a real concern in me to prepare our kids to be known as the “Ugly American” and this image is again growing strong outside of the US. However, I am more concerned for them to live like a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ and than to be an American. I will continue to try for reconciliation in order to set that model before our kids.

I did mention the “Children of War” series I did and added a new link to yet another child today. The details are at http://family.kozlowski.org/ChildrenOfWar. For whatever reason Syria has my heart, but I have kept watch on Mosul and Chibok. Back in May I spoke of Chibok and the release of some (http://family.kozlowski.org/2017-05-07). There was a particular man who I watch an interview with and really felt his joy with his daughter. If you look at him it is obvious he looks nothing like me, but watching the interview I saw a man who I feel confident is my brother. I desire to have a similar joy. I desire also to soon feel that same sense that my father-in-law in my brother.
