Reflections on HBO's The Pacific

As I wept my way through The Pacific, I found myself falling closer and closer to the Cross. I wept tears for John Basilone and his heroic death at Iwo Jima. I cried tears for Eugene Sledge and his return home to Alabama, which reminded me of Frodo's return to the Shire.

And all the while, I became ever more thankful for My Jesus and His Death on the Cross. I'm so thankful for this cinematic moments that provided a poor reflection of the ultimate sacrifice that Christ made on my behalf.

Thank you, John Basilone, Leckie, and Eugene. And thank you, Jesus. I hope I get to see all of you someday soon.
