With the Christmas season upon us the phrase "Peace on Earth" is spoken a lot. After the mass killing of innocent children in Newtown CT. just days before the birthday of the Prince of Peace, one has to lean on their faith. My faith in Christ is stronger than ever these days, but my faith in man continues to weaken. Mankind continues to engage in war, violence, and in many cases senseless acts of evil. Only God can create a brain and no one has found a way to understand how it works and what messages it sends, since each one is different. We are not in control, but whether we do good or bad is based on choice not chance, in almost all situations. We have created and live in a world of violence towards our fellow man, and in the U.S. where people use guns as protection versus faith. The NRA says let the teachers or administrator have guns in the schools to protect themselves. Schools are not a place for guns period. Their answer is to arm everyone, then we will all be safe. Peace on Earth will be hard to come by if they get their way. Merry Christmas.
