I think we get it now. People are angry, very angry and it is spreading across the country.
The angry man who burned his house then flew his small plane into a government building in Texas, is not the first nor will he be the last. I imagine he was a difficult individual to be around at home and work. He found his therapy in a burning building, his manifests and suicide, which also destroyed others. Talk about needing a Xanax.

“Who do men say that I am?” Jesus posed that loaded question to his followers. Peter jumps in and says some say John the Baptist, Elijah, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.
Then Jesus looks deep into them and responds with “but who do you say that I am.” Peter’s answer is direct, plain, and world changing; “you are the Christ, the Son of the living God” (read Mt. 16:13-19).

I would guess that many of you know the religious poem, “Footprints in the Sand.” A person observes along the journey of life two sets of footprints in the sand, their own and those of Jesus walking side-by-side with them. They notice that at times there is only one set of footprints.
They ask Jesus why and he says, “Those were the times I carried you.” It’s a nice poem.
The amusing story is recalled of a ship sinking and a few survivors crowded into the life raft. No food, no water, no land in sight and no way of communication.
Finally, someone said, “It looks hopeless, we better pray.” Another person slapped their forehead and cried, “My soul! Has it already come to that?” Sadly, prayer is often a last resort when it should be our first call.
