Life as we know it.

Recently I was watching the news because this is my daily habit out of wanting to know what is happening across the globe. This time I was watching the local news out of Indy, on my glorious bunny ears. The last story of the show was sombering and raised a few questions in my mind that really caused me to things about my values. The only other time that I have thought so much about this was on the way back from the Grand Canyon with my great friend Tim Founds.

here is the story. There is a man on death row and now has been executed and pronounced dead. On the eve and the whole day leading up to his death there were multiple religious groups protesting the sentencing against this man. (In my mind his crime is irrelevant because he is still human.) This execution now that it went through was the 5th just this year. That is the most in the state of Indiana since 1938, WOW.

I don't think that the world is a worse place now than it was back then rather it is very similar, people are just more keen on everything that is going on and the bad is exemplified more than the good. As of yet I haven't found an answer to the way that I felt when I heard this or what I am to do with it. I am not one to support the death sentence or to openly speak against it, but this really bothered me. Take this and mull it over in your mind, find out how you should answer this, it is an issue and to not try to answer current issues of the world as Christians is hardly holding up to being a World Christian.
