Cyclone Effect

Sometimes it take a tragedy to motivate one to do something that they thought they left behind. The death of Trayvor Martin was the beacon that led me back to this blog. It took the cyclone of pain, sadness, and despair that I felt over the death of the young man to get me back here. There is not much I can say that has not already been said. I have steeped away from Facebook in order to regather myself spiritually and emotionally. The death of the child known as Trayvon shook me to my soul. The glut of info about him and the now infamous murderer,(yes, I said MURDERER) George Zimmerman had become overwhelming to me. To see any life wasted , even the life of the perpetrator, is like a stab in the heart for me. This may not have happened if the system at large did not promote racism as it has done for years. The Black male image has been assassinated for over a century. We went from being "docile", to "hostile". Both views have had horrific consequences when it comes to Black and White relations. Like Y'shua (Jesus) said, "And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold." Matthew 24:12. Iniquity abounded in the heart of Zimmerman when he chased Trayvon, the result was the loss of a life. Zimmerman had no love for Trayvon because of the color of Trayvon's skin. The sin of racism abounds in this country still; the nature of sin is death. This country dies spiritually a little more each day when it lets evil abound by not doing justice. The evil starts in the heart and spreads like a cancer until it consumes you. George Zimmerman got swallowed whole when he pulled that trigger. As strange as it sounds, I pray for him, as Jesus did His enemies. Because in the end, God will judge him and all of us. This injustice will not go unaddressed for God is not on the side of the oppressor.

Until next time...
