Failure of Vigilance

The recent D.C. Navy Yard shooting is yet another indicator of the intellectual, emotional, moral, and spiritual crisis that this country suffers from. Along with the Fort Hood shooting and many other tragedies, it also clearly shows that military personnel are as likely break down and harm others as the rest of the population. Although politicians will no doubt cry out for more "vigilance", any increase in this "vigilance" cannot be effective when the watchmen themselves are at fault. Spiritual reawakening is the only thing that can save us from violence.

Jesus, please have mercy on this country, and break our ignorance of you. Amen.
