My apologizes for not consistently blogging. It has been a busy active summer. I guess that is a good thing less time to sit and have idle thoughts of what was and what could have been. Well, summer is now almost over. The school year will soon be starting if it already hasn't by now in your area. I had an article catch my eye tonight as I was surfing around my news feed on Facebook. A mother in Harlem speaking out on stop and frisk. She lost her four year old son to a stray bullet while the innocent child was playing in what they felt was a safe place, a sandbox in a local park. She has, sadly to report, lost all her sons to gang violence. There are wayyyyy to many stories out there like this one! Our assailants have NEVER been captured nor turned themselves in. NOTHING;a year later and NO closure !! Well, if they have been caught no one in our family has been notified. It is not fair as you are mumbling under your breathe, no its not!!! But, what does one do?? You keep on keeping on that is what you do !! You remember your loved ones spirit !! You never let it die ! You try to be a better person to make a difference in this ugly evil world we live in. I say its ugly and evil world as really what kind of world allows people to kill someone's innocent baby regardless their age !!! I try so hard to stay away from the evil of the world as all it will do is suck you in !! There are a lot of good people in this world though that are trying as well to make a difference !! Pastor Corey Brooks Walk Across America from Chicago to California. But, there just isn't enough to make a complete change !! Granted, God is big and large and always in charge. But, it takes an army to fight this war we are fighting daily in our American neighborhoods. A war of gangs on gangs that are shooting at each other in turn killing the innocent. That is the war we are fighting !! Just read Anaheim California's daily headlines. I totally disagree with how they are handling it on a professional level. They have let it get completely out of hand to where they are dealing with violence on top of violence !! You can't go into a gang ridden out neighborhood with military police tanks and expect peace !!! Give me a break !!!! Okay I will get off my soap box there . My heart just aches for this mom who lost her four year old son and all her other sons to boot. Someone have a heart help these people out !! Keep them always in prayers !!! Just cause you live in a decent neighborhood does not give you the right to forget about children that live in fear over gangs !! Even if all you are doing is praying that is saying a whole lot !! Just remember them in your prayers tonight and always !!! God Bless our children of the USA !!! May God and our angels always keep them safe !!!
