Exodus
In hoping that readers have liked my interpretations of some Genesis stories I am going to write some of my interpretations of the Book of Exodus and the life of Moses from childhood to adulthood. If I remember this is the book of the that the movie 'The Ten Commandments' was based on long ago. "Let my people, go! wasn't that a quote the movie used so long ago. I am just starting Exodus, and the baby Moses was just found in the reeds in the river Nile and given to the Pharoh's daughter to care for even though wrong.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Venezuela
By Leavie “Soul on Fire” Scott Her name was Nava, a 23‑year‑old shopkeeper’s daughter from Tehran, though she didn’t feel young anymore. Not after the week she had survived. Not after watching the value of Iran’s currency collapse so fast that shop windows changed prices twice a day. Not after seeing her father stand in his empty store and whisper, “I cannot afford to open tomorrow.”

If you can ever get a copy of The Lost Battalion with Rick Shroeder, I know you'll enjoy it. My late father-in-law was one of the survivors. Each time I watch the movie, it brings me to tears. Every man in my family served; so the all the men in my husband's family. I'm a die-hard veteran supporter.
What a wonderful tribute to Veterans your acrostic poem is, Mark!
Lovely tribute!
