- Independence,

Scary times continue to plague our great nation. Despite the amazing freedoms we have, the hate and discontent are more prevalent than faith, hope and love. What has led us to this point? How do we get back to loving our neighbor? We will never agree with others 100% of the time; but, we should be able to agree to disagree and move on. Violence is never the answer. I pray that I am never in this situation or have to cover these acts; but, no one is immune from these actions as we simply can’t control what others do. Take the time, and as bad as it sounds, make a plan for if you are in this situation. Know your exits and prepare yourself in hopes that you don’t “freeze” in place. These are things you can never ever be fully prepared for. I hope and pray that these acts of violence will cease. But, until then, please be vigilant.
