Pray

I'm at a loss.  When I first heard the news about the Connecticut shootings I fought very hard to hold back the tears.  I was at work.

Today I am completely numb.

It is frightening to try to comprehend the complete evil that can consume a person.  This is not human behavior.  This is demonic.

While my faith is not a secret, I typically don't make a point of "religious" writings.  But here is what I believe.

At about 9:30 a.m. EST yesterday, an act from the pit of hell took place.  But it was defeated in the instantaneous welcoming of 20 children and their teachers who found themselves in paradise - a place of complete, unfathomable joy and peace.  They are not only in a better place, but they are fully realized - living in God's eternal, holy light.

It is of little comfort though, to the hundreds of family and friends of the victims who have to figure out how to go on with the gaping wounds of senseless, evil loss.

There is tremendous power in prayer.  Be a part of that.
