John and Lisa's Blue Skies Blog – Soaring with God

A so-called right to bear arms,
a right to defend self.
Yeah? What about the right
to live without constant fear
of violence?

Life and love bloom
in our hearts. We long
for happiness, freedom
and the ability to be
of real service to others.

Lord, help us see that more
violence doesn’t get rid
of violence, more guns
cannot solve the problem
of guns. Change the minds

Of those who are focused on self.
Teach us to create a humane world,
a community based on respect –
where our actions reflect Your love.
