August 6, 1945 — I’m surprised at how little I saw it mentioned today. Twice, as I recall. Do you remember its significance in history? If not, I don’t suppose Little Boy<\/i> constitutes much of a hint.<\/p>\n

Here are two excerpts from the first mention I saw:<\/p>\n

There he met a Lutheran minister, Yamauchi, who explained the Scripture to him.<\/p>\n

Across the ocean, a Lutheran chaplain prayed over the crew of the Enola Gay<\/em> before it lifted into the air carrying the atomic bomb named Little Boy<\/em> which destroyed Hiroshima.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

It’s interesting to me that the writer of the article felt compelled to mention the Lutheran connection. That aside, I’m thinking I should read the pastor’s book: Small Man of Nanataki<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It’s also interesting to me to put that air strike against Israel’s air strikes against Hamas. Imagine the howls against the American non-surgical strike against Hiroshima…<\/p>\n

Well, never mind that. Here’s the link to the story about the preacher and The Bomb: Little Boy Obliterated Pastor Kiyoshi’s Family<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
