For everything there is a season,
And a time for every matter under heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal;
A time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to seek, and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to throw away;
A time to tear, and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate,
A time for war, and a time for peace.
Ecclesiastes Chapter 3, Verses: 1-8

That’s one of my favorite verses in the bible, it applies to life and how we move through it.  Simple wisdom and guidance to remind us that there is a time for everything.  So what is this?  It’s not War, it’s not Peace, it’s not a time to Kill or Heal, it’s not a time of weeping or laughing, of dancing or mourning…it’s a time for nothing.  There is nothing here.

I typically agree with the quote “No one prays for peace more than a soldier”, but now I feel as if I just want it to be a war…or maybe it’s that I’m sick of it not being a war, and it not being peace and I’m caught in the middle sitting on the SOFA.  I miss my family far more this time than I did last time, maybe it’s the result of having made it through a true combat tour…and appreciating what I have.

It’s too early for me to be in a funk like this, and I still have 7-8 months before I go on leave; and there is no date set for my withdrawal…my unit is here “Until Mission Ends”.
