Glimpse Of Change

Imagine that back in 2001, instead of planes being flown into the world trade centers, a conversation would have taken place between the pilots and U.S. officials to analyze and discourage the hatred the pilots had towards U.S. citizens. How would the world be different today? Imagine that Martin Luther King Jr. were still alive running a massive movement, would the world still be as racially divided as it is today? Imagine that Rap artists Tupac Shakur, and Biggy Smalls were still alive and there was never a beef between the east coast and west coast. How different would the music industry be today? What we do today shapes other people’s tomorrow and we need to step back to realize this — with our choices we have to leave behind memorable legacies. There are enough tragedies that become a part of American history; it’s time to include some positive events. Instead of glimpses of changes, we need to make changes that will last a lifetime. We don’t need any more videos of girls doing home invasions and brutally beating people down for comments that were made on the Internet. We also don’t need any more derogatory comments made on the Internet. We don’t need any more senseless shootings; the D.C sniper and his son should have taught us that. We don’t need death threats to the president we know the devastation that brings to the nation. We have fell to our knees many times before from losing great leaders. One for the week: Numbers 23:20 - I have received a command to bless; he has blessed, and I cannot change it.
