I've been assaulted twice in the last 5 years,
Not physically but guys getting right up in my face wanting to start an altercation. Once in Downtown Denver by a homeless guy I was actually trying to give food to while waiting to play a gig, and last year by a Dad of a kid at my crossing guard Job who got an inch from my face screaming "Fu%$ You Fu%$# You for two minutes. That Dad is in jail now btw...
What I learned from this is that our society was getting very coarse, very uncaring and yes more and more violent...Here we are now in 2020 and Riots are happening in multiple cities, people are looting Wal-Marts and Targets while some say they have the RIGHT to do so.
People are burning down small businesses that black and white families have spent decades building, and some say "It's just stuff, they have a right to do that" A white person of 20 years old will get an inch from a black cops face and give him the finger calling him a Fu$#%@ Pig, and then shout 5 minutes later "Black Lives Matter!".
We've watched large groups of young people walk onto an interstate freeway blocking traffic for hours and if people attempt to drive through they pull them out of their cars and beat them. State Capitols and Churches and Synagogues have been vandalized with graffiti or worse with looting and destruction.
Young people seemed to believe they had the right to Tear down statues from civil war era heroes to slavery abolitionists and even Abraham Lincoln because they are so incredibly ignorant of American History. And City Government leaders did nothing to stop them, so why shouldn't they?
Churches in California are forced and told NO SINGING while the same City Government leaders will go out and march with several thousand people half of whom are not wearing masks and shouting "Black Lives Matter!" Apparently the Corona Virus automatically differentiates between a large street protest and a Church service...
We've seen young black men cold cock an older white man in the head as he was trying to keep his business from being looted or burned to the ground, and young black thugs who shot a retired Black Police officer as he tried to protect his friends store, and then they streamed the killing live on Facebook.
And amazingly most Media from Local affiliates to National networks seem to only be concerned with a scant few white cops who shoot a young black man because he was resisting arrest that had a lengthy rap sheet with some felonies and then we're told "These are Mostly Peaceful Protests"
In my nearly 62 years on this Planet I've seen some strange stuff, especially in foreign countries, but I've never seen anything quite like we're experiencing right now.
But this I do know...God is still in control, and He's watching ALL of this. He's telling us to REPENT, which means TURN AROUND, and stop doing what you're doing.
Especially leaders, civic leaders, church leaders...STOP lying to the people, stop encouraging them to continue raging in the streets, stop telling the People lies that it's OK to keep on sinning, It's OK to keep on hating your adversaries and filling the streets with rage and violence, it's OK to hate the other guy who votes differently than you do. At some point God Himself will say "That's enough" and HE will fix this mess if we cannot, or refuse to ourselves.
Don't shoot me,
I'm just the Sax Player
