Put down your sword. Put the weapon back in the holster. If you are not careful you could shoot someone who is trying to love you. Someone who wants you to open up your heart and show you a better way. Too often in the culture we allow ourselves to be on guard. We want to protect ourselves from getting hurt or getting wounded. But scars from stories which in turn from common interests. These common interests allow us to share life with someone else. When you put away your weapon it allows you to reach out to lend a helping hand.
