Over the two weeks that I lived in East LA about a month and a half ago, a boy was shot execution-style down the street. Care to fully understand that environment? What fraction of America was he?

Jesus is an operative power of love in THIS present moment, as the present moment is always eternity, the past is your memories it only exists in your mind, the future is a projection of your imagination, it doesn't even exist yet, therefore Jesus doesn't exist at some random or even choreographed point in the future, the absolute and only place Jesus exists is the present moment, the
now, so why wait for then when then is now?
so I take it you have loitered around my LA TIMES homicide project thread? those bodies pile up senselessly in Los Angeles night after night, if my heart wasn't already broken I swear it would have melted away like a dripping candle..
