Chasing the Wind

News. Faith. Nonsense.

Tookie

The founder of the Crips, one of the most bloody gangs in Los Angeles history, was executed last night. Stanley “Tookie” Williams’ execution was protest by liberal media and actors, claiming “The state of California just killed an innocent man.”

Tookie’s victims, shot dead 26 years ago, were unavailable for comment.

    What Mr. Williams did, if in fact true, was certainly wrong. Because I am a Bible believer, I believe in the practice of forgiving individuals for the wrong they have done. Scripture teaches us if we expect Christ to forgive us, then we must forgive others.

    I will never know what the victims went through nor will I ever know what the families of the victims are going through. However, I do know God is able to speak peace to their hearts and minds. That peace is a peace which will surpass all understanding.

    It is my prayer that the victims accepted Christ before their lives were so violently taken. Scripture teaches us if we confess with our mouths and believe in our hearts that God raised Christ from the dead we would be saved.

    Regardless to what we say, if Mr. Williams asked Christ for forgiveness and accepted Him as Lord and Savior, we will see him in Heaven.

    Let us pray for the families of the victims. Let us also pray that God will change the hearts of the gang members. It’s not too late for them. I don’t know about you, but I do believe prayer changes things.

    Be blessed,
    Thomas

About Me

Michael, a sinner saved by grace, sharing what the good Lord has shared with me.

Solomon, in the book of Ecclesiastes, said, “I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.”

If you’re not living for the glory of God, then what you’re doing is meaningless, no matter what it is. Living for God gives life meaning, and enjoying a “chasing after the wind” is a gift from God. I’m doing what I can to enjoy this gift daily.

Got questions? I’m not surprised. If you have any questions about Chasing the Wind, you can email me at chasingthewind@outlook.com.
