Choose Peace

Good morning, LA!

I had an interesting vision this morning during my prayer time. I saw a park in Los Angeles. Silvery sunshine glistened off a small breeze blown lake. Leaves shimmied on the branches of trees under a baby-blue sky. A large stretch of mowed grass beside the lake slowly began filling with people. The crowds walked quietly, each person carrying something in their hands. For some it was a gun, others a knife, many brought violent video games. One by one they laid their symbol of death in a growing pile in the center of the green, cool grass. The pile grew and grew and grew into a hill of discards. The people were giving up their weapons of mass destruction. They didn't need them anymore. They didn't want them anymore.

The people chose peace.

Prayers of consolation for the souls and families of the people murdered in LA this weekend:
Jonathan Vega-Plascenia
Brenda Aguilera
Gouram Wallace, Jr.
Marvin Sanchez
Jason Marquez
Troy Green, Jr.
Bobby Williams

So Be It,
Mother T
