Defining Courage

What is courage....is courage the ability of Protestants to board wooden ships and sail miles away from home on a strong wind to the eest and a hope of finding inhabitable land to serve their God. Is courage the moxy to come together as seperate unions to form a united inanity to hold truths self evident. Maybe courage is found in the hearts of men who leave their lands for foreign ones to serve as yours and my shield. So we may rest easy at night and not worry about our tomorrows. Maybe courage is a dream that a preacher prophesied amidst a world of hate in the 60's. Courage IS men and woman bravely running into 2 burning towers knowing that they will fall, calculating that one life saved is well worth the jeopordy of their life. Can courage be Virginia Belt at home in bed not knowing what is wrong with her neck and her guess being as good as the doctors....or Jenny Young laying in a hospital bed as doctors adminster test after test trying to find what's haunting her young body and wonderful spirit. Maybe this courage held by few but avaiable to many was started in the Garden of  Gethsemane. When a savior of the world shook in fear of the task placed before him but yet he took on the cross and conquered the grave.Yeah I'm pretty sure that that my friends is the definition of Courage... May God bless Jenni,Virginia, our troops, you and me, and most of all this land given to us by God!
