In the Scriptures we are told how Abraham walked by faith...

It was so in El PaSo, the people walKed into WaLmart believing they wouLd be safe, with good intentions to prepare their children for school.

An they were mowed down by hate.

Hate promoted by the most powerful spokesman in our land.

At a rally he asked what to do abou t migrants, and a loud voice replied "Shoot em!"

And the President lAUGHED!

HE IS SUPPOSED TO INSPIRE US.

INSTEAD He "DEGRADES US" WITH FEAR!

And so we pray:

O God come to our assistance.

Send the Spirit to awaken us from slumber and denial.

Satan is alive in our mist,

sowing discord, mustrut and emnity.

Send your good angels to watch over, to protect

our children who wade through

the swamp of hatred

that threatens to overflow

and poison our land.

O Lord: deliver us from

evil and from those who espouse it.

Amen
