This is Not Fallujah!

It's time to stop the shooting! When America begins to look like Fallujah, everyone goes on hair trigger, especially cops whose lives are on the line everyday. Black lives matter. White lives matter. Brown lives matter. Red lives matter. Yellow lives matter. All lives matter! We are all made in God's image, so people of good will of all colors need to start backing away from the precipice and begin building bridges and seeking unity and turning our backs on hatred. Our leaders need to lead and speak out against violence of all types, not playing politics with this issue. All lives matter. 

Which brings us to people of ill will. They are there. Some want the tension because they make a very good living off of it and frankly a death now and then is good for business. Some are cold, evil political operators who hate this country and would like nothing more than a guerilla race war to heighten their chances of toppling the current order and ushering in their idea of nirvana. Cops, blacks, civilians - their lives are just coins to be spent to get there. The former need to be ignored. The latter need to be identified, isolated and jailed. 

This is not Fallujah, but it will be if Americans of all colors don't step up and stop the slide into hell. It starts with prayer for wisdom in this perilous time and the courage to stand up for what is right.
