I do not envy pastors who are called to preach the same things every year, as the calendar repeats, but must still continue to speak in a fresh way. I think I would break after fifteen years — I hate to repeat myself. On a blog, thankfully, I can just reference a previous post that I still find sufficient when the milieu really hasn’t changed. So, concerning the US’s memorial day celebrations today, see my response from two years back: “Memorial Day and the Life of Remembrance.”
