I’m troubled. Time to ramble.
- I really wish one week would go by without someone dying and police either having direct involvement or looking suspicious.
- Of course, I’d like a lot longer than one week, but I’d settle for that to start.
- I am sure the media attention is bringing to light a lot of situations that may normally stay off the radar.
- But, it makes me wonder why officers would use excessive force on anyone knowing that cameras are rolling.
- And, it really makes it difficult for all the officers who do their jobs with respect and dignity according to the oaths they took to protect and serve.
- I am troubled knowing that terrorists are video taping executions of Christians and others opposed to them.
- I cannot imagine the daily reality for those under the influence and in captivity to these terrorists.
- Really, I can’t. I get upset sometimes when someone cuts me off in traffic.
- The daily realities I experience make it feel like these stories happen on a different planet.
- It seems beyond comprehension and I search for actions steps.
- I have one primary action step.
- Prayer. Yes, it is worth praying for people genuinely stirring due to injustice.
- It is worth praying for those suffering violence and persecution.
- I can’t travel to the Middle East or to communities affected by deteriorating relationships with law enforcement, but my prayers can.
