Dallas

Last night my husband and I watched "Risen."

I highly recommend the movie. It gave an interesting perspective of the resurrection from the eyes of a Roman soldier. It was thought provoking.

As a rule these days, my husband and I attempt to leave our phones in another room during movies so we can actually engage in the movie in front of us.

Last night after the movie we both got on our phones...

Minutes after bullets started raining in Dallas we were made aware of it. Media is a gift...media is a curse.

We are killing ourselves. America is dying.

Life matters. Blue, black, unborn. We are killing ourselves, with senseless crimes, by choice. Life no longer has value to the average person. We must stand up and fight for life.

My husband and I went to bed last night whispering about how senseless it all is. We woke up this morning and turned the news on. We turned the volume down, but children are curious. We had to explain to our daughter, in terms should could understand, what happened.

The world my children are growing up in is different then the world I grew up in.

My Pastor challenged us last week to teach our children the Bible:

¹⁸ “Therefore you shall lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your soul, and bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. ¹⁹ You shall teach them to your children, speaking of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. ²⁰ And you shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates, ²¹ that your days and the days of your children may be multiplied in the land of which the Lord swore to your fathers to give them, like the days of the heavens above the earth. - Deuteronomy 11

Folks, the Bible needs to be our everything. In the days ahead, the answers we need will only be found in scripture.

My family and I are praying for Dallas. And our country. And our future.
