Focused

Are we focused on what is happening around us?

I believe there is so much information flowing from social media, broadcast networks, podcast, radio, and email that it is keeping us distracted from the happenings around us.   

I can not count the number of times while driving in downtown Nashville and seeing people staring down at their phones while crossing the street, never looking up to see if it was safe to cross.

I'm all in for being informed, but this is dangerous. Being distracted in public makes you a target for the criminal elements looking for their next target. 

Keep your head on a swivel. Be aware of your surroundings at all times.        

  

Crime

I was watching the news this morning.

A reporter interviewing a man about a crime that had happened in his neighborhood.

The man stated "it was a crime gone bad"

Hmm - is there such a thing as a good crime?

A crime will always have bad results, and if for some reason a person is not caught in the end they will have to answer to God.
