The recent shooting, by another mid-East immigrant crazy, has made it to the headlines of our nation. Will it stop? Who will be next? And more importantly, do you fear sending your kids and loved ones off each day, not knowing if there will be some crazy with a bag of automatic weapons waiting down the street outside the theater, mall, library, school, or local playground?
I know there is little else we can do other than trust Him, and be prayed up for the inevitable, but how is all this madness really affecting you?
Are You concerned With All the Crazies Running the Streets?

We try not to go out for groceries, food, gas, etc. once the sun goes down, but if we do, we are mindful of our surroundings. We are doing that regardless what time of day it is. We avoid some shopping areas in town day or night.

Personally, I am more concerned with the crazies running the country. -

Some of the same crazies running the streets are the same ones sitting in our congregations on Sunday morning.
