There is a lot that I could write about.In the last couple weeks there has been a rash of attacks on people including the mocking of a 7 year old by her neighbors because her dad didn't answer a text message about a party fast enough. Are these people adults? Are they people even? I'd call them animals, but I happen to like dogs, horses, snakes, elephants etc. The term that seems to fit most is slimy devils. Then off course there were the attacks on 3 gay men by a group teens claiming allegiance to the Latin King street gang. Now I do not agree with the practice of homosexuality at all. I'm not going to compromise on that. But nonetheless these people were kidnapped, beaten, sodomized, and basically tortured for hours. If all God asks you to do when you sin is repent fully then these supposed 'human beings' have no right to attack and almost kill innocent civilians no matter how much their lives are at odds with what is right. Because I have some differing opinions with people doesn't give me rights to antagonize them. Non-physical anger has never changed others minds for the better let alone a hours long torture. And the Latin Kings aren't known for their righteousness anyway- think drug dealing and drive-by shootings.
But the story that really caught my attention was the rescue of the 33 miners in Chile. They survived 69 days underground. Despite all the odds against them they made it. At a time when we could have started fighting, moaning, blaming others for their situation they came together and survived. Look at them! Their situation may have looked low, if not hopeless, much of the time. Now look at our lives here in the USA. With the economy and unemployment being at the lowest it has been in years
