What is a 'Civil' War

   
	I’ve tried to wrap my arms around the drivel
            that any war might be deemed ‘civil’

        ~ the only term that comes to mind is evil

Fighting evil can turn vicious, as well. We pray for the men and women who have to take up arms and hope they can keep to what is right. Hard to tell when you are in the battle. Even at home we take up with words we never meant to let out. Where is the soap? Only in the hands of our Maker.
