A Facebook Post from our Nephew

I'm sitting here tonight with tears in my eyes and incredibly sad. 
Sad that a man died unjustly. 
Sad that a peaceful protest ended with violence and pepper spray
Sad that some of my friends feel like combat and riot gear are an appropriate FIRST response to protest
Sad that some of my friends will take another step towards hatred of police
Sad that some felt it necessary to destroy public property and throw bricks
Sad that some will miss the reason this all happened
Sad that some used this as an opportunity for a selfie
Sad that this probably is a once and done thing and minimal change will happen
Sad that what many in the crowd don't realize is that they really need Jesus.
Sad that many in the church won't take time this Sunday to talk about this or take any steps to begin reconciliation.

we don't need a revolution, we need a revival
