flesh eaters

You've probably heard that there's been a run on purchases of zombie ammo due to the 3 separate cannibalistic attacks in South Florida. The common links have been homeless people snorting bath salts. Bath salts are readily available, legal and cheap and according to news reports make you feel like chewing someone else's flesh off.

When we went out yesterday to find non-cannibal hungry people, we had a hard time locating any in the normal places. When we did catch up with a group we know, they said that everyone (the homeless) is afraid of the police right now. The police have cracked down on the homeless and have been arresting them in droves using the crazy zombie attacks as the new found excuse for harassing them.

There are 10,000 people sleeping on the streets every night in South Florida and because 3 have gone on a crazy people eating spree, the powers that be want to harass the other 9,997 non-cannibals . I find it really hard to sit by idle and watch as the authorities persecute those who don't have the ability to defend themselves. Then I read something like what I found in Proverbs -

"Speak out for those who cannot speak, for the rights of the destitute. Speak out, judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and needy." - Proverbs 31:8-9

The streets are a dangerous place, please pray for the people we are serving that God will keep them safe. Many seeds have been planted, please pray God will change many lives.
