Show Love

Good morning PureMusic bloggers. Today I want to express my feelings on something a lot of people who read and contribute to this blog can relate to; please excuse me if my thoughts go astray. Last week, a good friend of mine was shot and killed in College Park, GA, a 27 year old black man with a daughter and a an enormous amount to live for. When I got the news that night, I couldn't help but think about how many families get that same news every single night. You only have to watch the Atlanta news at 6 and 11 to get an idea of how bad it is around the city. And from conversations with J, I know the Chi is much worse right now. As much as it hurts me personally to see all of this madness at home, I'm struggling with what all this means in a global context. At the funeral wednesday, Pastor Creflo Dollar expressed his belief that the world may be on its last leg, as the much of the bibles prophecies have been fulfilled. Another minister suggested, as many people have, that black men are an endangered species. While I haven't come to a conclusion about either statement, I have come to a conclusion about love and salvation. As people, it is our duty to show love to all people, those we know and those we don't know. It's imperative that we let people know how we feel about them before we no longer have that opportunity. In addition, as Christians we have a duty to spread the word and teach about salvation through Jesus Christ. Whatever talent/gift God blessed you with, I would encourage you to use it for the expansion of his Kingdom. Love & God Bless
