A good nights rest was exactly what I needed after receiving news this heartbreaking; this disturbing. It was also exactly what I didn't get. Tossing and turning in bed for what seemed like an eternity, I went on and on, it filled every nook and cranny in my head. HOW COULD THEY!?!! // whoever they may be. Our country, our nation rather, is in danger whether you choose to acknowledge it or not. I'm not being paranoid, I'm being smart and safe. Yesterday was.. A tragedy? .. A.. downright unfortunate event. Thank God no one was hurt and the rest of the building is somewhat intact, but the fact that we're moving into another building is NOT the point, NOT IT AT ALL. It still doesn't justify the actions of those youths who did what they did. Just in case, there are those who are totally oblivious to what's happening.

You know that church located in Desa Melawati?

The one that got torched/arson attacked?

The one that's spreading on the news worldwide?

The one that's got the net buzzing?

The one that's got more than 6 news sites in a matter of hours?

The one your parents told you about?

The one which I belong to.

It happened, the unthinkable; it happened.. When something this dear to you, something that's been with you all your life is been torn apart; wrecked before your eyes.. It cuts deep; it kills. It's gotten out of hand, was there a NEED to succumb to such an act of violence? Over the context, the usage of some word? Seriously, grow up. Furthermore, smashing cars?  Just because they have a bumper sticker with the word "Jesus" on it, come on! Again I say, grow up. | Though our building may be partially burnt, our beings shaken and our hearts broken.. We will still carry on with undying faith, just as we did before this shit of an incident happened to us. 

p/s: to my bros/sis in Christ who have been praying for us and our church, thank you for your support and care during this time of grieve and frusness, we're believing Him for greater things :)
