[quote=Anonymous]The news today is so mixed. There are stories that will rip your soul and stories that will restore your belief in mankind. You sound like such a wonderful, sensitive person. God bless you.

For me personally, it breaks my heart that this man got himself into such a situation. It was tragic that he apparently had taken the wrong path i.e. drugs and counterfeit money. These are crimes which should not be punishable by death much less without a trial. He may have been very resistant to being restrained, which made for tough calls by the arresting officers.

I also weep for the young people who are being used by an unknown party to commit acts of terrisom. The very fact that they are being used to throw the bricks placed around town probably for that purpose is soooo sad. I weep for the victims of their rage and improper behavior. This is not grief. It is more like a temper tantrum and they should have rec’d proper parenting on this behavior years ago. The very fact that they are unable or unwilling to make good choices is a heart breaking matter.

But I rejoice at the pictures I see of people hugging no matter the color of skin, people praying, and ministries that are offering an ear to hear and hope for tomorrow. As for me I don’t need to watch videos that will haunt my memory. I just need to know some simple facts, so that I can do what I feel led to do. Right now that is just to pray. God hears and answers our prayers and there is so much to pray for in the world today.

There has been a struggle between good and evil since the time of creation and Adam and Eve. The struggle is real and the struggle will affect us. We have a choice and each one has to make a personal choice. There is hope and there is a better way. Jesus came to earth and offered Himself to take care of man’s sin problem. Again it is a choice of whether or not to accept this.

As far as Mr. Floyd calling out for his Mother. He may have seen her and was actually speaking to her. My mother did that on her deathbed. She called out greeting to her son, who she loved and had gone on before her and was conforted.

This is a sad event. There are many sad events happening today and the media makes sure we know about them. They write the narrative whether it is true or not. But there are other sources that are showing good and hopeful things that are happening. If you are able to see these they will encourage and bless you.

For me, the Bible, the Word of God, brings comfort. In it I see times which have been just as bad as they are right now but I am able to see how God works thru those times and brings hope. It blesses me. I hope that you can find a place of blessing in all of this. You might call this number- 855 382 5433-and ask for encouragement. They have excellent resources for encouraging people in times like these. I am praying for you. God bless you and your family.
