There’s something dark about October 7th, wouldn’t you agree?
In 1952, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, who served as president and prime minister of Russia, was born.
In 2001, Triggered by the September 11 attacks, the Afghanistan War began, as U.S. and British warplanes started bombing Taliban targets.
In 2020, I jumped off of Webb Hill and barely survived.
And in 2023, The Israel-Hamas War began when Hamas launched an attack on Israel from the Gaza Strip that resulted in more than 1,200 men, women and children, including 46 Americans and citizens of more than 30 countries being slaughtered – the largest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust.
Out of that last one emerged one of the most bad-A people of all time—Mia Schem, who was held hostage for 54 days. Pardon the expression, but what she went through blows me away—she candidly talks about what she went through without crying—SHE HAD HER ARM BLOWN OFF—and as she’s taken captive by Hamas, she’s like, “oh, can we grab my arm?!” She carries her own ARM around until they sew it back on, no meds, and does physical therapy on herself for 54 days straight in a tiny room with only ONE HOUR of sleep per day, being mocked, with almost no food, and horrible living conditions, bright lights on all the time, and bombs going off everywhere, and then the story continues.
She was rescued right at the moment she was about to give up.
Her story is a testament to how evil Hamas is, and how we need to stand with Israel at all costs.
She said it best when she candidly said,
Mia, I’m glad you aren’t M.I.A., and that you’re finally home. You are one of my heroes.
Healing with Christ
