My prayers go out to both families; The Scharkleys and the Hydes, I am close to one side, and family to other side. Sometimes anger set in and before we know it things happen, but we must question ourselves, how would I want people to handle my wrong against them? Until we learn there is a better way of handling unlawful matters, ; such as letting the Law handle it, and by leaving things in the hands of God, we will never learn…. As a Minister of the cloak I pray that God will help us through these trying times and forgive us our debt as we forgive others their debt, and may he give us a heart to love one toward another even our enemies. May God’s peace be with the Mother and Father of Darius Hyde as well as Darius Hyde. May God’s peace be with the Mother and Father of the late Joseph Scharkley and pray he had accepted Christ as his eternal peace, while here on earth. Amen….
Justice, now peace!!!
