ATTACKS IN GERMANY

 

A teenager armed with an axe and knife attacked about twenty passengers on a train in Germany.  Nineteen people were hospitalized as a result and the attacker was shot dead by police.

Whether we like it or not we are at war. Terrorists are trying to spread fear all across the world. The weak minded are being brainwashed to believe there is something heroic about killing innocent defenseless people.

There is nothing heroic about shedding innocent blood. You do not become a martyr from killing defenseless people. You will not come back from the dead to another life you fools, you are going straight to hell.  You do not die looking like a hero you die looking like a fool!

Germany Closes Borders

The influx of refugees into Germany might be drastically reduced as the country is closing its borders. Thousands of refugees have already poured into Germany and this new measure will dash the hopes of many more. Security concerns could be part of the reason. The new measures hopefully will bring some pressure on other European Union Member States to do something about the refugee crisis.

Syrian Refugees

Beginning today treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again.  (Og Mandino)

This quote is one by which we should all try to live.  Kudos to Germany for taking in the Syrian refugees. It warmed my heart and brought tears to my eyes to see hundreds welcomed in Germany after the long walk from Budapest. It is heartbreaking to see what these people are going through as they try to flee war strikened Syria. The body of that little boy washed up on a beach after the overcrowded boat that they were in sank is forever etched in my memory. So many have lost their lives trying to escape. I pray that all those who can help will continue to welcome these refugees with open arms and hearts.
