Psalm 31

"Keep down the're coming." We crouch behind a ruined wall which protects us from the invading army. The Germans are upon us, rifles on shoulders, sour faces. The rhythm of the march is terrifying. They pass without a glance in our direction. Gingerly we peep around the remains of the castle wall, our French farmhouse. "All clear, come on." and we can run with safety to the next crumbling shelter. We are out on a dangerous mission, two strangling soldiers surviving, trying to get back to civilization from the barbarianism of the battlefield.
We had to hide frequently. Our Germans were meandering tourists enjoying the Castle Hill and its views over the Bristol Channel. My companion lived just two doors from the castle. What a backyard!
Of course we knew the outcome of our 'war'. We were on the good side, the winning side.
In my grown up, non play life God is my good. I am on his side and therefore I know the outcome
I can
24 Be strong and take heart,
all you who hope in the LORD.

Tenby Castle shows all the nooks and crannies of the our games.

On our first Sunday in church in America we were introduced to a lady who was evacuated to Tenby during the World War II. She was taught by my fellow soldier's father. Small World, maybe- but not for God.
