Two white adults (victims) struck down in the prime of their life and Martin (criminal) who was killed by the man he attacked. In our society, the media down plays the good and up holds the evil. You can't make sense of it because liberalism really is a mental disorder. Unfortunately there are a lot of people who suffer from this disease.

It makes me angry, and it makes me want to rattle cages, but every-time I start feeling that "throbbing vein in my temple (you know, the one), I hear the Small Still Voice reminding me "This world will always be unjust, Not until I come back." And then, He focuses my my attention to a bigger injustices, that go unnoticed.Beyond the publicized atrocities, beyond the media that swarm like locusts on a carcass, beyond our TV sets and RSS feed. The kind of injustices that are hidden away in the shacks of faraway countries, in institutions, in broken homes, in the garbage dumps, filled with kids rummaging for food. In no way does that minimize the horror and pain of all that suffered and were not named, but there is so much more. There is so much injustice that goes unnoticed because its not flashy, its not graphic enough to make a buck on, but it's someone's life's suffering.<br /><br />And then, He reminds me of His injustice. His Perfect Injustice. We, humans, who deserve nothing but Hell for our depravity, were given forgiveness instead. We, who deserve shame, were given His Glory instead. We, who deserve absolutely nothing - were given everything. <br />My anger won't bring back the slain, or erase the torture. But I have to believe that nothing goes unseen by the One True Judge. All will be known. All will be weighed. And All will be counted. And the judgement will be dispensed. <br />I will pray for your heart's comfort. There are days, that I just have to close my eyes and simply let the anger dissipate and remind myself - this is not our home. This is a battlefield.<br />-Good bless.Catalinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14717574764415693598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3033320547792994210.post-59366865186270676872013-08-15T18:09:15.702-04:002013-08-15T18:09:15.702-04:00100% agree.100% agree.Little Penpenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01374048900216199298noreply@blogger.com
