PROTEST: Take a different tack

No one can help being repulsed by the stupid behavior which set fire to this tragic problem.

That being said, how does it come that even though we need to mourn, we continue to see the professional goons and hoodlums who have agitated peaceful protests to become mobs of destruction and riots?

No one has voiced the thought that how different our country would be if the millions of people that continue to protest, riot, hate police, march, stay off work and make every effort to destroy the country, would have taken a different tack!

What is that tack? For each person to act out of love and obey the new testament which says, “Sin is lawlessness” and again “We need to speak the truth.” What if each person had devoted all this time, energy, millions of dollars caused by the looting and division of our great people and causing destruction which will take years, if ever, to disappear! Had we spent it doing the right thing, imagine how much good we could have done!

Unfortunately, we will never know, because the opportunity to do good has been forever squandered!

I have previously cited my mother’s thoughts. “There are two kinds of people that we all choose from. The first is the builder who makes everything plain or beautiful. They are devoted, skilled people. The other group are the wreckers whose only goal is to destroy and divide, especially anything good or beautiful, but also the mundane! The question is this. Since each of us decides for himself, which group do you choose to support?

Are you a Builder or a Wrecker?

A great “Thank you” to our armed citizenry.
