Peace is a heartbeat from death

The trigger finger, Button of mass destruction: Blood-lust from father to son passed -- children learn by what parents do, even more than from what we say Let us pray: Dear God, save us from self inflicted evil today; Save us from such sad sorrow going into the morrow; Let Your Christ Sacrifice be not for naught; in Your mercy and fairness penitently our refuge is sought The Devil rules when Love forsaken Every grave a plot where lies a precious child, victim of another wrongly taught Though far wiser purchases for mankind Warrior mentality Weapons of war is the industry Most sold And naively bought....

Yes, let us love! Love stares hate in the eyes, sometimes melts it, most certainly dispels truth. God bless you, Joe!

Yep, I recall once, an out of his head drug addict, and I was on the wrong side of a 45 -- I felt a light surround me, spoke calmly, and then he lowered his weapon and burst into tears.

"The Devil rules when Love forsaken". This is the pronouncement of a stark truth. All quarrels and feuds arise in the world when love disappears from our lives and thereby letting Satan take predominance. Unless we teach our children the importance of love, tolerance and compassion, our children will become a threat when they grow up. We have to embrace God's love and his attitude of forgiveness. An enlightening and inspiring poem. Have a beautiful weekend, dear friend
