This is the Scariest thing I have seen

In a long time.

This is not a statement about Basil's fitness to carry a weapon, or to serve his country.  No it is a statement that the man I know, the one who wishes to serve Christ's Church is now carrying a weapon that can snuff out life in the blink of an eye.

It is an incredible responsibility, and one that I know Basil does not take lightly.  Let us pray to the Lord of All that Basil is never asked to use that weapon during his service.
