Am I My Brother's Keeper?!

Currently listening to: R.Kelly " I Wish "







Now I must admit in the past that I never gave a shit about what's going on in foreign affairs. I always just felt for the most part the poor soldiers who get stuck in the "battle" were just pawns being used to fight for shit most of them could care less about. I mean I've had 3 homies in the Navy(1 finished his time) & I always told them they were dumb for joining the Navy. But now 1 of them is being sent off to Iraq & shit obviously has hit home. This nigga is a brother... I mean I've know him since elementary school. I know God will take care of him & bring him home safely. But now I'll be paying closer attention to what's going on around the world because I've got family involved in this mess. He didn't join the Navy because he's some patriot(nigga not even American, he's from Jamaica) but just because they were offering a chance for him to better himself. He was never too much of the school type. I have found myself praying way more than I have ever prayed in the past recently. I'm not overly religious but I believe the bible verse goes something like, ".. I look to the hills for which cometh my help, my help cometh from the Lord ". I know God has given me everything I have in my life & he will provide me with everything I ever will have. Now I have to include my brother in my prayers... I pray God keeps him safe for himself, his family, & his friends. When his time to come back to New Jersey for good has come we gonna party like we never partied before.
