Letter: Now is the time for all to pull together

To the editor:

Are you weary of the dreaded news? Are you tired of man’s inhumanity to man? When will we all say, “enough is enough?” Are we willing to allow evil to take over our families, schools, towns, states, country and world? This beautiful planet that God created for us, is this how we want to teach our next generations?

This madness has got to stop, and it begins will all of us.

I have lived a long life, but I think of the younger generations behind us and what kind of lives they will have. We have allowed the attitude of opposition and hate to take over our society, and we have the power, time and energy to turn this around for out good and for those coming behind us. If only a few people pull on the rope, the job is very difficult, but if we all grab hold and pull, the job will be light. Let’s try to teach each other how to get along and live in peace. It will make for a healthier, happier and more progressive existence for all of us.

Consider what God has to say to us in 2 Chronicles 7:14: “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”

Let’s all try to be a good example and teach other how to live peaceful lives.

Let’s all try to make a difference in our daily contacts more positive attitudes and examples to all we come in contact with. Let’s try to behave more the way God asks us to behave and see where it takes us.
