Doing Time in the Service

[Guest JD]

One Sunday morning, the pastor noticed little Alex was

staring up at the large plaque that hung in the foyer

of the church. It was covered with names, and small

American flags were mounted on either side of it.

The seven year old had been staring at the plaque for

some time, so the pastor walked up, stood beside the

little boy, and said quietly, "Good morning, Alex."

"Good morning, Pastor," replied the young man, still

focused on the plaque.

"Pastor, what is this?"

"Well, son, it's a memorial to all the young men and

women who died in the service."

Soberly, they stood together, staring at the large

plaque. Little Alex's voice was barely audible,

trembling with fear, when he asked, "Which service,

the 9:45 or the 11:15?"
