Yesterday something intentional, horrific, thoughtless happened. Air-Force One  look-alike flew very low over Manhattan for a photo shoot. Many things will be written about this insensitive event-to say the least-from is advertising everything? to why were state officials like Bloomberg not notified–because he would have said “Hell no” .

But I’m gonna try to take a different spin on being scared to death. Is it ever the right way to handle faith situations and scare someone into “believing” ?I think not! Those Manhattaners did not need that scary situation to bring them to God. If God, or their higher power, was not already present in their lives they would not have turned to Him in their time of panic. Panic has no room in spirituality. Panic doesn’t help us grow…hard times yes, but not panic. When I feel panic and scared I only want to crawl under my covers and cuddle with my pillow. It has never motivated me into action. Be motivated to grow not through fear but through love.” For God gave us not a spirit of fearfulness; but of power and love and discipline. “(2 Timothy 1:7) American Standard Version
Oh President Obama, we all make mistakes-Please don’t use fear to persuade our nation. Your administration is better than this and we deserve you to step and be the best.  For those Manhattan citizens that witnessed this horrible advertising prank–My heart goes out to you with love. I’m sorry you were fearful.
