Curious about the place I live in.

Hola Everyone ... HIYA ROSE!!! :-)

Ok a little sad subject but I was curious and it's been on my mind.

For some reason there has been a "wave" almost going on down here with regards to the crime increase and suicide rates this way. The suicide in particular down here because in January there was a total of 3 persons (2 of them within 24 hours of each other) who took their own lives due to depression/finances/loss of jobs etc. Such closeness of events haven't happened in my memory before.

I was wondering if you saw if this was a "trend" developing with our nation?

We also have a brewing pot of "cultural unrest" I think. You know Bahamians, Hatians, Jamaicans especially have issues with each other with regards to coming illegally etc./jobs going to non-Bahamians etc. We've had a few small protests and lil riots coming from the Hatian & Jamaican communities down here ... do you think things will boil over?

I do not believe this is a "trend" developing but rather fear gone wild. What do I say about money? It does not come from the world but through it.
I do believe in fact that human beings are entering a period of great spiritual evolution. It's possible that the world's economic
problems are a manifestation of emptying before filling up.
About the cultural unrest...everyone's church needs to start praying for peace and brotherhood. Organizing an island wide peace prayer vigil would be a great thing for you to do Lecia.
Prayers for the Bahamas from these islands here.
