It is such a blessing to be alive in these troubled times The whole world is full of heartaches, chaos, and crimes. We have a need to over-sensationalize the evil things. Therefore, we forget that there is good in human beings. We listen to the media talk about homicide and suicide And sometimes they try to address the "Great Divide." There is so much evil and hate emanating in our great Nation It is shocking what our government is doing and the corruption. I know somewhere in this world there are good things happening But we forget to talk about it because we don't think it's interesting. Our minds are programmed to focus on the bad and negative aspect We tend to demean and badmouth each other without any respect. Is it really a blessing to be alive or are we merely surviving? There are times we lock ourselves in our homes in hiding, Afraid to face the world because of what we may run across. But I pray He will change us because of His sacrifice on the Cross.
