Gun fire

The last week or so there has been gun fire near where I live (something that is of course not unusual in this city and I am not in any danger). In some sense hearing the gun fire gave me peace. That might sound strange, but even if I were living away, I would still hear the gun shots in my heart. Not being here doesn't make the gunshots go away and it doesn't make them any less real. For me its harder to hide and still hear them, then to be here and hear them. But my feeling peace has convicted me. I shouldn't be settled with just living in this area. I have way too much pride. If I am not living out the gospel, that's no better than living somewhere else. I am still hiding. And so that is the question I pose to myself. As I frantically run trying to get things done, how can I present the Gospel? Right now, I don't know what I need to do, but with the Lord's help I would like to find out.
