Cornerstone Community Church, San Jose Ca

I have the utmost respect for the men and women who serve in our armed forces, but I don't think I would make a very good soldier. There are a number of reasons for that, but perhaps the most important one is that I think I would have a hard time killing someone. I've only shot a gun once in my life. I was 20 years old and living in Alberta at the time, and I was visiting a member of my brother's church who was a farmer. He took me out to his farm and invited me to try my hand at shooting the gophers that were wrecking his cropland. I saw a fair number of gophers that day, and I fired a fair number of shots. But unless a gopher died laughing, I had absolutely no success in helping this farmer with his gopher problem. I am a lousy shot, and I would, I am sure, make a lousy soldier....
