violence is not the answer...

i had a very interesting conversation with a friend of mine last nite...he mentioned if i had caught the news on a "christian" militia group...which i hadn't...here is the article...

who are the christian militia 'Hutaree' and why was the fbi targeting them?

we then started talking about another story where a teen had hung herself after years of being bullied...and now...there were 9 people being charged for the leading up to of this horrific end...the thing is...it is not one persons life that was forever changed...

i am not sure if it is a good thing or a bad thing to still be surprised when i hear stories like this...that things like this are happening in america...maybe i'm living some sheltered life...who knows...all i know is it breaks my heart that this is where our world is...and then i think...how much more does it hurt the heart of God?

the militia group article...well...it amazes me that they somehow are justifying their actions as "godly" and taken straight from the word...huh? which word are we reading from?

my friend and i talked last nite about how it used to be...of course things are going to change...but it saddens me...that kids today...are not able to live in the world that i lived in growing up...where it was safe to play on the streets...

is there anything we can do? do we sit inside our homes and pretend everything is fine? i don't know...what i do know...is that violence is not the answer...we as a nation need to pray as never before...
