lyrics

Yesterday, my son Joseph was beaten up at a Cricket Wireless store in Detroit. In this time of escalating violence, trauma, and racial tension, we live in an ever-increasing hostile culture. We see rising tensions from race related violence, a volatile political climate, and global unrest. I wonder, “Where is the hope? Can it really get any better?”

How can we stay positive in such a hostile world?
Anne Frank, the young girl trapped in a hell on earth, still had the presence of mind to write these words: “Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy. Despite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart.”

I think we need to make an intentional effort to notice the good that’s around us.
