Remembering Pearl Harbor

                                                

December 7

 While vacationing in Hawaii. I visit the Arizona Memorial in Pearl Harbor. 

In the motor launch to the sunken battleship Arizona I notice there are as many Japanese tourists as Americans. Pearl Harbor is as much a part of Japanese history as it is of ours. I am surprised by this but not angry. I'm proud that this nation has followed the policy of reconciliation with its former enemies. It really is the only way to lasting peace. Jesus must be pleased also.

 "I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you." (Matthew 5:44)
