All the tragedies. All the hurt. All the loss.
To be honest, I can't even look at national news websites anymore. Vile acts against children. Heinous crimes against women. Inhumane offenses against humans.
However, it gives me more to pray about. For those involved. For the world we live in. For my children and what their world will be like.
In the last 24 hours or so, our community has lost friends, classmates, children.
My heart breaks for the families that will have to bury their babies. For the Senior class that will graduate next month with an empty chair. For every parent that takes for granted that previous blessing that can be gone in an instant.
For we know our time here is just a blink, and as my favorite verse of "Amazing Grace" boasts that ten thousands years in heaven, with Jesus, is no less time from our first day.
Revive our community, O Lord. Revive us.
