THOUGHTS!

As I sit on my porch and contemplate the beginning of hurricane season here in the southeast, I am consumed with thoughts of the chaos and pain in our country these past few weeks. 

Pain and suffering from senseless acts of harm towards others; adults, children, people from all walks of life!

I think about the chaos that is happening around the world; death, illness, disease, war, crimes against humanity.

My thoughts bring me to contemplation about what is happening to my denomination that I came to call home. Such pain and hurt happening amongst people that call themselves brother and sister.

These thoughts take me back to the time of Jesus and the chaos and pain that existed at the hands of the Roman government against the people of other countries. Countries that were overrun by a leader that wanted ultimate power and control.

Today I am thankful that in the midst of chaos, I can turn to the ONE that has brought HOPE. Hope only found in the ONE who brings PEACE, the Eternal One! Let us take time as we sit on our PORCHES to talk to the ONE who brings us comfort, JESUS, the Son of the ONE who breathed life into darkness at the beginning of time!
