So, what do I have to do with a war half way round the world, one might ask? And what do I have to do with violence in the city where I live? We see horrible acts of violence and crimes being committed all around us. But what about us? What do we do? We take responsibility for ourselves and those under our charge. We can’t control the world but we can control ourselves for we know better. The Bible says, 

“O people, the LORD has told you what is good, and this is what he requires of you: to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.” (Micah 6:8)
