Fair Weather Fiends

Christmas sometimes reminds me of the movie, Patton. The Battle of the Bulge, in which he triumphed over German forces in France, happened through December, 1944 and January, 1945. The Germans took advantage of the winter weather to attack along the Western Front, knowing that allied forces could not receive support from the air. Patton asked his chaplain to invent a prayer for good weather. While it might be pushing it to ask for God's help with your war aims, Jesus did mention that he came 'not for peace but with a sword.' So reads The Gospel of Matthew. I hope I'm not taking too shallow a view of those words, but it may be that God does take sides in war. On the other hand, when wars end and their belligerents count the dead and wounded, there appear to be no winners.
