An assistant men’s basketball coach at Lamar posted this on Facebook. Good, good stuff from a young man about to become a father:
“Been in thought The last couple days as I’m sure everyone has.
In a few weeks I’ll have a daughter. She will be born during one of the scariest and most uncertain times in our worlds history. And I will have to have conversations with her as she grows up on why the world is the way it is. It might be conversations as to why there is so much hate, and divide. Why certain groups won’t associate with others and a list of other things. About how an unseen enemy divided our world even further than what it is now.
However, I hope that in ten years I can tell her she was born during the most proud time in our worlds history. A time that our world and country turned to God, turned to decency and turned to eachother. When politics, and differences were put aside and the world came together for a common goal and prevailed. And in turn those conversations aren’t difficult but they’re prideful, talking about the pivot point in our worlds history!
Pray for eachother, pray for our leaders and pray for our future.
‘If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves, and PRAY, and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways. Then I will hear from heaven and I will forgive their sin and I will heal their land’ “
