5. We are indeed known by our enemies.

I've always been leery of people said not to have an enemy in the world. If you walk and live as you should, you'll have more than enough of them. Beautiful thing I've discovered over time, however, is that even when you feel surrounded and beset by overwhelming numbers, you also have friends, sometimes in the most unexpected places.

How many people are beloved so dearly by others whose lives they've touched though never met, folks who TRULY would take a bullet for them w/o question and count it an honor? Precious few, I'll bet. The love overcomes the hate. And that's one major reason some sad souls do hate President Obama - because they know nobody would love them like that.

And yet we're only reflecting the love that's shown us by one willing to suffer much, yes risking his own life, to make the world better for all.
