God,
We need help.
Once more, violence, out of control with a 21-year-old at Bible study.
The gunner massacres many around the table in that South Carolina church edifice.
And, to think that Thursday night in Warren, MI., at a 'Celebrating Family' event in the Warren Civic Center, we went right on with our program without a pause to pray, to ponder the tragedy and make our plea to God for divine help.
Yet, Monday in the same place at 6 pm, a Polish Doctor in Nazi Camps was the topic of a book by her daughter.
That account of her mother's life from the horror of her experiences during World War II as a prisoner-doctor in 3 Jewish slave labor camps in Germany, to the triumphant rebuilding of her life, first as a refugee doctor in Germany and later as an immigrant to the U.S., should have been enough to stop me in my tracks.
Numb.
Have I become numb to the violence erupting every minute in my U.S.A.?
Have I?
That is a scary thought.

Guardians of Family
This Thursday at 6 pm, the Warren, Michigan Civic Center will be celebrating family with clergy, families, and more.
Family has been the foundation of our Founders. Back in 1776, in fact, the vision of this Nation's founders were clear about this basic cell of our society.
James Madison, along with other founders created an independent judiciary o serve as "an impenetrable bulwark against every assumption of power in the legislative or executive," noted Madison.
Our founders were "guardians" of our rights who affirmed the family institution, among other prized possessions of this beloved land.
The balance of powers is key to moving family forward.
For sure.
Conscience and respect for the law and vision of our founders is central to the plan outlined hundreds of years ago.
Government power is insufficient when it comes to protecting our rights, and, that of family today.
After all, "without a vision, people perish," claims the Good Book.
By now, this culture of chaos with 40 million U.S. addicts is reason enough to be sure that we are "one Nation under God."
