Well, when you stay up too late for whatever reason, you end
up sometimes catching up on the news of the day. And for me (you’ll have to try
and forgive this) well I've given up on regular TV since it costs just way too
much money these days (in my humble opinion). And, don’t get me started on just home much of
television is just so much aberrant garbage anyway. The old saying I think
still holds true: garbage in, garbage out!
So, I happen to go on one of the local TV station’s websites
to view tomorrow’s weather and what to I see, but the heartbreaking news that
two officers were shot outside the Ferguson police department late today!
Once again, here we go. Really?!!
How do any of you think we will ever see peace over this?
When, we cannot make some attempt at forgiveness?
The behavior of some people has become so wrapped up in
revenge, playing judge, jury, and apparently executioner as well, that they now
arrogantly think that these roles are their right. Revenge and justice belong
to nobody this side of eternity other than God himself.
Don’t get me wrong, in certain circumstances I do believe it
is ok to take a life, such as when you are in defense of your own life or that
of a loved one, but to basically lay in wait for someone (such as these
officers) and take them down to make your point, etc. is completely criminal.
Two wrongs never make a right!
Didn't your mother teach you right?!
Before I hit the pillow tonight, once again I will pass on
some prayers for those like these police officers that need God’s healing touch
and a miracle here or there to get them from this terrible day into tomorrow.
But as for the cowardly, murderous thugs, and hypocrites
that shot these two officers, you are just as much a part of the problem as any
of the officers that may have done you and yours wrong before today. Your
actions will never bring peace. You now have added just another reason why
unity between the races will continue to elude much of our country.
May God bring swift and sure justice down on your heads.
They who live by the sword will die by it as well.
Only repentance, forgiveness, and love will ever see our
nation healed. May God have mercy on us all.
Peace…
Mike
