Observers

Have you ever noticed that the United Nations is great for sending "observers" all over the globe, but rarely do they actually help anyone? (Except the bad guys, of course). They are apparently send more of those "observers" to Syria. What, to watch the slaughter? Point at the perpetrators and ogle the situation? "Oh, looky there, someone's being murdered. Hmmm. Let's tell uh, umm, somebody somewhere." In one of the chapters of my new book, there was an incident in prison where a man was beaten so badly that he did not appear to be alive. My friend saw the perpetrator wash blood off his hands and knew that something horrible had occurred. So he ran up to the room where it happened and tried to get the attention of the guards, but was ignored. So he used the prison phone and called for help himself.The victim was barely breathing, and very nearly died. Thanks to my friend he lived. My friend was not an "observer" he was pro-active. We should be the same. When David saw the atrocities perpetrated by Goliath, as his own people stood watching and whimpering,he stepped up and did something about it. He went into attack mode. Today there is a headline about a woman who was "flashed" by a pervert on a train. She screamed and not one person paid any attention. So she had to grab the offender, call the police, and hold him until they arrived. Good for her. She took action instead of doing nothing. I pray that one day we will become warriors instead of wimps. Then instead of just watching what evil does, we can stop it in its tracks.
