Julie and I took a walk tonight, and we stopped at the place where the shooting occurred last night so that we could pray. As I blogged about in my previous post, it is good for followers of Christ to reflect on the pain of violence but it is also good for followers of Christ to take action. Action for Christians occurs in many different ways. For us, tonight, it was a prayer walk. We are praying for transformation and healing in the streets of our little part of the city. We pray that our neighborhood will be a place where kids can safely play and ride their bikes. We pray that our streets would be a place where people can work, raise families, and grow old with one another. We are seeking God's shalom in our city.
