I'm still under the spell of Rouge I which we watched on Sunday. On the TV news, that day was an article about President Obama and the head of Japan who visited the Pearl Harbor monument over the holiday to leave wreaths in memory of the fallen WWII veterans. Obama has done a lot toward bringing allies into visual unity. I hope Trump doesn't spoil the scenery.

Everyone in our group was very quiet on the way home thinking about the movie. My son said it was because all the characters we love died. On the way home my mind was comparing the devastation wrought by the Death Star with the devastation to Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

If the world ever really goes to WWIII we as a society are not prepared for the simple but permanent destruction that will occur inside this country. Like a dot on a piece of paper, 9/11 has only touched us slightly. Now, because of shootings, the dots have dropped more heavily in different areas of the country. Drops of the blood of the martyred victims are extensive in other countries.

The Pope was quoted in an article I saw from Rome. The translator said the Pope believes we are already fighting WWIII.
So my thoughts and prayers are that the world will survive. The rebellion against evil thoughts played out in violence will prevail.

May the Force Be With You.
