There is a poem, author unknown, which I (R.B. Thieme, Jr)
have adapted, for it beautifully sums up God's purpose for us
in the angelic conflict:
You cannot choose your battlefield---
God does that for you;
But you can plant the colors
Where the colors never flew!
Adapted from a poem appearing in Battles of Texas,
(Waco, Texas, Texian Press 1967)
