These days, i am the most alert citizen. With all the shootings, terrorist attacks and bombings, my eyes are peeled back constantly, staring everyone down.

I look at everyone's waist band for concealed weapons. I look closely at people who act strange; i'm on the look out for abandoned bags and packages; staring everyone in the eyes with my best street look. I'm like Jack Bauer's protégé! I should get my own Chloé.

I probably shouldn't be doing all that staring; pretty sure I look strange too, with my eyes huge and fixated on everyone's belt area.

How do we survive these crazy times?  

Before we even existed, God had already given us tons of promises to keep us through these dark days. Simple promises. I wish they were complex but they aren't. Straight to the point and faultless ❤️ On those we rely and on them we feast.
