DEFENSELESS

Defenseless is not having help during needed times, the intent to leave people without a way to live and survive. 
Defenseless is not allowing police and security to do their job, of restraining, protecting, and other ways of making us all safe. 
Defending is a way of teaching, maintaining, and making us all able to live and feel safe today and every day. 
We read in history of how many groups lived in intentional community’s making them feel safe and secure as they go through life. 
Forcing people to live in unsafe communities can lead to death and health issues that can make other issues increase. 
I am thinking of the hammer of the Scots, I read that the dilution of the people by way of non-intentional community weakened the communities. 
I am thinking of the intentional Indian communities in America, I am thinking this makes them stronger, having their values and culture as one. 
I am thinking of the other places around the world that have intentional living and how being one makes them strong. 
Let us all be aware, and take care, don’t be defenseless, grow, learn, love. 
Lifting prayer to God, today and always.
