Broken Hearted

Oh the past few days....absolute craziness. 

The other night when Manny and I went to visit our son, after the girls were in bed

we watched two Batman Movies:

Manny and I had never seen them before.

They were good, but very intense. Not sure I would watch them again.

I remember thinking, "poor Gotham, it is doomed!" 

And I wondered WHY? Why was so much evil rising up against a city, a community? 

In the second movie, the citizens were so desperate to survive, they turned against each other. 

The police were removed (trapped underground - 3,000 of them)

so the people were making their own judgements without any structure of justice or law.

And then, we heard of the shootings in Dallas.

Five officers shot and killed. AMBUSHED 

while they were trying to protect the citizens at a peaceful protest in their city.

How ironic! It felt as if the movies were coming to life. 

I mentioned this the other day, but I'll say it again here

what in the world is going on?

This morning we watched a news special about the woman who was abducted as a young girl,

only 11 years old - by a crazy man and his wife and held captive for 18 years!

How does this happen? There is so much evil in this world.

And yet, this girl now 36, has moved on with her life. 

She has a remarkable story to tell. You have to watch this excerpt of that program

How did she rise above the ashes of her 18 year captivity? 

I don't think I could do that. 

The Bible tells us:

Ephesians 6:12King James Version (KJV)

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

King James Version (KJV)

But it all says:

1 John 4:4 

Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
