sad

I confess that I have not taken a lot of time to catch up on local, national or global current events lately. Since today, May 31st, is the global day of prayer, I decided to take a few minutes to peruse some headlines before praying this evening.

I can't believe the things I'm reading! Its appalling, sad, and a little scary. Go check your favorite news site for yourself - but the things that jumped out at me included some gut-wretching stories... An abortion doctor is shot, while at church. A man and his wife are cited for holding a bible study in their home without a "religious assembly" permit. A hospital employee's American flag was taken down from display in her office because a coworker found it offensive. ...and those stories only begin to scratch the surface.

I will turn to my Abba with a heavy heart while the headlines occupy my mind.

Today is the global day of prayer. Let us pray!
