I'm Back

Well, after a 2 year hiatus, I've returned to discuss how to save a city - Saginaw Edition. So many cities around the country are failing, so many states now are failing too. Heck, even our country is failing! It seems that we are spending ourselves right out of being. Saginaw faces many problems however, not just fiscal. Society is a huge problem. I don't see it as much of a racial problem as simply societal. Gangs and drugs, followed by unemployment are the trouble spots of the city. Black or white, no matter, gangs and drugs are alive and well in both races. I think this city needs some prayer. I recently joined a face book group “we need to pray for Saginaw Michigan” and all I really see are a few very devout Christians citing verse from the bible. In the words of Pastor Mark Karls of the Urban Ames United Methodist Church, (paraphrased) 'Saginaw needs to heal spiritually before it can heal racially and economically.' Spiritually means to come together as one spiritual body, under Christ our Lord, and then in masse, pray for our leaders, pray for our citizens, and pray for those who are lost. Then, pray for us, the spiritual ones who have come together to make change. Do not hide behind the words of the bible, the devil can quote the verses of the bible, believe in your heart that you can change this city and then pray for God’s guidance to do so. It’s time to take back this City and the only way is for God’s chosen few to lead the way. Only though God can we start saving a city!
