*It is with a heavy heart I take a break from the wedding recap to speak words that I just feel need to be said. We will finish the last two wedding posts this week.*
You've seen the mantras. The hashtags. The rallying cries. "Black lives matter." "Police lives matter."
But if you ask me, we are completely missing the point--and worse--furthering the agenda of hatred and divisiveness.
Instead, why don't we focus on the idea that ALL lives matter. Police. Young black men. Single mothers. Muslims. The dying. The homeless. Gun owners. Vegetarians. Cattle ranchers. The mentally ill. The elderly. The condemned.
Perhaps if we all took this approach, the tragic deaths of people like Eric Garner and Michael Brown and officers Ramos and Liu would not occur. Maybe we could avoid hostage sieges in Australia. We would not have news stories about deplorable "interrogation methods" used against people. There would be no beheading of Christians on Iraq. We would not have to read headlines about death row exonerations that came too late.
As we prepare to celebrate the birth of Jesus, I think we would do well to recall that He became man to save ALL people. That ALL people were created in the likeness and image of God. And that it is ALL people who are part of His divine plan.

All lives matter but make no mistake about what is happening. This disruption and effort to drive division versus reconciliation is a calculated part of the liberal/socialist agenda to break America apart at the seams so it can be rebuilt into the socialist/communist leaning nation they want as part of the 'Hope & Change' doctrine. These ideals run across Europe and reveal themselves at the grassroots level in the USA as part of this notion of 'community groups', 'power to the people', etc, and it ain't your Daddy's Democratic Party. It's one not advertised in the open. Interesting how the signs held by the blacks celebrating the death of NYC police officers are from a gay & lesbian organization who doesn't give a rip about the health of any black neighborhood. But, like the liberals collect votes from the black communities based on lies, they also collect them from the gay & lesbian community which is an extension of their more nefarious aspirations of driving their socialistist government which is often founded on atheistic views that often go along with beliefs in things like evolution. It IS this complex at the Core and what can appear as basic action and reaction is not - it's planned.
This is very well said. The entire situation both infuriates me & makes me sad.
