You know, this world is getting out of control. In recent weeks & months, we've had more acts of terrorism, acts of violence, etc, than I can count. There is no sense in any of it! I will NEVER understand the "logic" behind any of it! We know from the Bible that unprovoked murder is a sin. In My opinion, only a coward would kill someone, to convey his point or idea. Killing is NOT the answer! There is always other ways to work out our differences. We can agree to disagree. We can walk away from one another & just let it be & forget about it, or we can argue, fuss & scream at each other, until we get it out of our system. We can also be mature about it & walk away from one another for a time & try to come back later & talk it out. We can also agree that we're not going to be able to work our differences out & just completely walk away from one another for good. If I have a problem with you, I am going to be woman enough to say "Hey, I have a problem with you, I'd like to talk it out with you." I am not going to kill you, just because I have a problem with you. Now, that being said, if you break into my house, I'm still not going to kill you for doing it. I might shoot you in the leg, to knock your behind down & disable you, until Law Enforcement arrives to carry your behind off in hand cuffs, to the hospital & then to jail. People need to use caution & common sense when using a weapon! I am not saying we need "stricter gun control laws" either. If I was dumb enough to make you want to pull a gun on me, which I don't think I'm dumb enough to do that, but I would Pray that you would think twice about pulling that gun & shooting me. Instead, get in your car & take off to the gun range. Take your frustration or anger that you have towards me out on that target! In no way, shape, form or fashion do I agree with any of the killings that have happened in the last few months & weeks, here on American soil OR abroad. I DO NOT CARE whether you are LGBT, Straight, White, Black, Asian, Latino, Christian or whatever! As I said when the Pulse Night Club shootings happened in Orlando, No matter your Race, Color, Religion, WE ARE ALL HUMANS! We all need to start STANDING TOGETHER in this world! I am sick of hearing, "White Lives Matter", "Black Lives Matter", "Police Lives Matter," etc. The way I was taught is that ALL LIVES MATTER! We need to stop all this fighting & killing! We need to start Praying for ourselves & for each other & for our country. Innocent lives are being lost because of all of this senselessness!
As a little girl and even now, I have had a mountain of health issues, where my parents or I ended up having to call 911 for help. Usually, the Fire Department & EMS are the ones that always showed up to help me. My Parents raised me to respect them, as well as Law Enforcement Officers. I have had several Family Members that have been in Law Enforcement, in some way. Bottom line on that, I always have had & always will have a special place in my heart for ALL First Responders. I will always support them, whether it's just a kind word or waving at them, as they pass me on the road. It makes no difference to me. They will ALWAYS have my respect. They are the ones who, day in & day out, put on that uniform on along with that badge & gun belt or medical equipment that they will need for their shift, when they get a call for help from a citizen. They do this for people like US!!!! None of us ever know when we might be fine one moment & the next moment, one of us is on the floor gasping for air because we're having a heart attack or because we have fallen & can't get ourselves up off the floor. To ALL First Responders, I say THANK YOU! Also, to our Military, I say THANK YOU! My thoughts & Prayers go out daily to ALL First Responders & their Families & anyone else that has been affected by all of these shootings & such!
