I doubt that many Americans paid any attention to the elections held in Great Britain on Thursday. A great many Brits apparently did not either because thousands showed up too late to cast their vote.

Those that did vote ended up not giving either the Tories, the UK equivalent of our conservatives, or Labour, the UK equivalent of our liberals, sufficient votes with which the party winning the most seats in parliament could then form a government under a Prime Minister. There was also a third party called the Liberal Democrats which, to American ears, sounds very much like our own liberal Democrats.

“I can honestly say that as a Pastor I rarely find myself “speechless”. However this is one of those times. After viewing the video tribute to Mike Monsoor I am just that…Speechless. There are no words to express the profound sadness and yet great…pride, honor, appreciation, humility, indebtedness, glory, at the sacrifice of this young man. Know that this story will be retold at least from one pulpit this next Sunday and that the prayers of at least one Church will go out for the family and friends of this great soldier.”
