A New Braunfels resident has won Olympic gold in a sport rarely associated with Texas.

Elana Meyers Taylor captured gold Monday in the women’s monobob at the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics. Monobob is the individual version of bobsledding, where athletes push and pilot their sled alone.

The 41-year-old Meyers Taylor finished with a combined time of 3 minutes, 57.93 seconds — just four-hundredths of a second ahead of Germany’s Laura Nolte, underscoring how close the competition was.

Eighty-one years ago, one of the most famous battles in began, the Battle of Iwo Jima.

During WWII, three Marine divisions were assigned the task of taking the island from the Imperial Army of Japan.

About 9:00 a.m., Feb. 19, 1945, began to land on the beach in intervals. For the next five weeks, approximately 70,000 Marines participated in one of the bloodiest battles in Marine Corps history. During the intense fighting, 27 service members were awarded the Medal of Honor for their bravery – the highest number of Medals of Honor ever received for one battle in U.S. history.

U.S. Marines continued to press forward and they secured Mount Suribachi and raised the American flag on the summit, Feb. 23.

The iconic raising of the American flag on Mount Suribachi captured the spirit of resilience and sacrifice, etching the Battle of Iwo Jima into history.

Let us remember and honor the courage of those who fought on this pivotal day.

Almost everyone speaks badly about Job’s wife. Almost no one stops to think about her sorrow.

We remember her for one painful sentence:

“Are you still maintaining your integrity? Curse God and die!”
Job 2:9 NIV

When we read that, it sounds harsh. It sounds faithless. It sounds cruel.

But let us pause for a moment.

She was standing in the same ashes as Job.

She did not only lose wealth and comfort. She was a mother. In one day, she lost ten children. The Bible says:

“Your sons and daughters were feasting and drinking wine at the oldest brother’s house, when suddenly a mighty wind swept in from the desert and struck the four corners of the house. It collapsed on them and they are dead.”
Job 1:18 to 19 NIV

Ten sons and daughters. Gone in one moment.

Can you imagine the silence in her home after that? The empty chairs at the table. The quiet rooms. The clothes that would never be worn again.

Grief like that is heavy. It shakes the heart. It breaks the soul.

And then she had to watch her husband suffer. Job was covered in painful sores.

“So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord and afflicted Job with painful sores from the soles of his feet to the crown of his head.”
Job 2:7 NIV

He sat among ashes. He scraped his skin with broken pottery. He was in deep pain.

She had already buried her children. Now she was watching the only person she had left slowly wasting away.

Was that evil? Or was that a heart pushed to its limit?

When she said those words, maybe it was not hatred. Maybe it was despair. Maybe she could not bear to see him suffer one more day. Maybe she was crying out for the pain to stop.

Job answered her:

“You are talking like a foolish woman. Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?”
Job 2:10 NIV

Job stayed faithful. And we honor him for that. But we should also see her tears.

Something else is important. God rebuked Job’s friends for their wrong words.

“I am angry with you and your two friends, because you have not spoken the truth about me.”
Job 42:7 NIV

But God never rebuked Job’s wife.

He knew her heart. He knew she was broken.

And when God restored Job, He restored their family.

“The Lord blessed the latter part of Job’s life more than the former part.”
Job 42:12 NIV

They had ten children again. She carried them. She raised them. She built life again from ashes.

That takes strength.

Maybe today you see someone grieving in a way you do not understand. Maybe they are angry. Maybe they are asking hard questions. Maybe they are saying things that shock you.

Grief does not always sound holy. Sometimes it sounds loud. Sometimes it sounds messy.

But God is not afraid of broken hearts.

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
Psalm 34:18 NIV

He knows the difference between rebellion and deep pain.

So what will we do? Will we judge people who are falling apart? Or will we sit beside them in the ashes?

Sometimes the most Christlike thing we can do is stay. Stay in the silence. Stay in the sorrow. Stay until hope slowly rises again.

Today, we pause to lift up our military families in prayer — the mothers, fathers, spouses, children, grandparents, and loved ones who serve quietly and faithfully from home.

May our service members be protected wherever they are called to serve.
May their families be strengthened with peace, patience, and hope during times of distance and uncertainty.
May those waiting for phone calls, homecomings, and safe returns feel comforted and supported.
And may we always remember that behind every uniform stands a family carrying both pride and sacrifice.

We pray for strength in the difficult moments, joy in the small connections, and unwavering support from communities that care.

Today and every day, we stand together — lifting up our military families with love and gratitude. 💙
