Thoughts and Prayers!
Well, another day and yet another nut job with a gun. Steals a postal vehicle and goes on a shooting spree in Odessa Texas. 5 (last I knew) dead, and over 20 wounded. One of those being a 17 month old. So, when does the idea of thoughts and prayers. Get replaced with some damn action? Why do many somehow believe that "thoughts and Prayers". Are going to somehow solve this issue? And while i do not believe in the notion of God. Maybe, just maybe if one did exist. This being would be like. You have the ability to follow the example of other nations around the world. You have the power to try and significantly reduce the large scale, random assaults that take place in your country. So, why should i have to solve a problem. That your all capable of doing on your own. Just will not do what's obviously needed.
These situations remind me that if there is a God they are pretty messed up in their creation. More likely gods at loggerheads with each other. Even more likely, just people; most of whom are doing the best they can with the skills they have, and some failing badly from others’ point of view.
Also they remind me to try and be kind to others and help where I can, while protecting myself and loved ones.
