Imagine

 If you will, imagine for a moment your neighborhood, town, and city locked down from which you can't escape. You have no water, electricity, or food. Medical services on the brink of collapse. And you are murdered for who you are and love, how you believe, and how you live

This is happening not only in Ukraine and Palestine, but throughout the world, displacing of souls and millions more slaughtered at the hands of ruthless dictators and bloodthirsty thugs. The rule of law and blatant disregard for human has become a daily reminder in many parts of the world of how society has become unhinged.

Living in America, we are shielded from the chaos that is happening around the globe. But I do have to ask for how much longer? We see hatred on the rise. Extremist theology infiltrating our government, churches, and society at large. We are also seeing the erosion of rights and the demonization of those who don't support the agenda of the far right. The idea of live and let live is sundowning and could possibly bring about the near same results of what we see around the globe.

We certainly live in troubling times! Life around us is rapidly changing. From one moment to the next we see abhorrent evil on the rise. Our morals and characters are being tested, asking on which side will we take a stand. Will it be for good or evil? The call is going out ... choose you this day whom you will serve. My prayer is that we will not fall into the abyss of no return.
