What happens in Vegas, should not stay in Vegas

This was sent to me by a friend, it was printed in her church bulletin, by the youth director, and worth sharing

 - What happens in Vegas, is men and women who shielded their wives, husbands, girlfriends, boyfriends, and strangers from bullets that were raining down.
- What happens in Vegas, is strangers that were pulling others to safety and loading the injured into any cars they could during the attack to help save lives.

We are #battleborn and ready for battle - the battles of this world and the spiritual flight.
Never have we been more proud of our big city that is just a small town. We are the city of lights that shines in the darkness. Christ’s grace, love and mercy can reach any person, even the most far gone. God sure hasn’t forgot about Vegas. This “city of sin” is your city. Our wounded are your wounded. This can happen anywhere. Yet, the God’s light in the people in our city has defeated the evil. Good always wins. Good always outshines the dark. Always.
