audio by title roman soldiers - people who cause us pain

I remember day dreaming when I was just starting out in my career, how as a young soldier I jockeyed for promotion as an officer of Imperial Rome. I envisioned myself riding to victory after victory with Caesar’s conquering legions. I pondered how my men and I would fight for justice everywhere and bring enlightenment and prosperity to the uncivilized subjects of our realm. Even this assignment to a remote outpost in Jerusalem I hoped to turn into an opportunity for service to others and recognition for myself. But today, I don’t know. Something’s going on that just doesn’t feel right. I can’t talk to my commander; I certainly can’t approach Pontius Pilate.
