Live Without Fear

This past weekend, my two daughters, four grandchildren and I attended the Texas State Fair in Dallas, Texas. The highlight of the day was attending the 94th Annual State Fair Classic--Grambling VS Prairie View football game held in the Cotton Bowl. Grambling won the game 34-21. The crowds enjoyed the game, the fair, food, music, rides and excitement. Around 9 p.m., a band began to play on the fair’s main stage. This local band-- Authentic Soundz - made everyone stop, take notice and dance. Some spectators took a seat, some stood, many danced while singing along as the melodies filled the night air. We all enjoyed these uplifting sounds with one obvious observation--most of the audience was standing back away from the stage area. This was clearly a reflection of fear that a deranged man with a gun was going to show up and fire bullets into the crowd.

Of course, we all know that was an isolated event. At this point, let us live our lives proceeding into each day without fear or restraint. There is no way for us to see into the future, seeking the good or the bad. So let us trust the Lord, pray, be positive, live without fear, and continue to dance into the night.......

Be blessed and be a blessing!
