be alert and prayerful

  "And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people." Ephesians 6:18

Flashback... do you remember your school days as a student?  Did you have fire drills?  Earthquake drills? Tornado drills? How about evacuation drills?  Perimeter lockdown drills?  Active intruder lockdown drills? I only remember fire, tornado and earthquake drills.  

As unnerving as it is to experience these additional drills now, i am thankful our schools recognize and practice them all.  I pray the implementation of these drills for actual events doesn't occur, but i am grateful to know procedures and plans are in place if ever needed.

BE aware, BE alert, BE prepared, BE wise, Be ready... and most of all, BE prayerful.

we are loved and chosen by God,
may we live, love and do like we believe it,
