Today I Am Just Going To Be Angry
I got angry yesterday when I heard the news from Baton Rouge that there had been another assault on police, which resulted in the deaths of three officers, and the injury of three others, including one who is still fighting for his life. Another senseless attack. Another crazed, demented and deranged killer inspired by the militant, angry rhetoric, twisted ideas and perhaps the very example of others, and enabled by a culture that is steeped in violence. This on the heels of nearly one hundred people dead from an attack in France, and the deadly shootings in Dallas that took the lives of five police officers. So yesterday I got angry, and I'm still angry today. I am tired of having to explain all of this. I'm wondering where God is, and why all of these things keep happening. I am at a loss on how to respond. I am tired of prayer vigils, and weekly prepared statements from elected officials telling us that "this is not who we are."...
