Written in response to the school shooting that happened on 5/25/18. within walking distance from our house.
Pretty scary stuff.
What a tragedy…two people shot at a middle school…trying to process is going to take some time…
allowing the wounds to heal…but everyone involved in Washington seem to freeze…when it comes to taking on the NRA…
while it seems that things will never change…I don’t know what to say…I am ready for something to change…
but I don’t know what issue to address…
We say we want it to stop…we say we’ve had enough…how many people will suffer…
before we realize what we really need is Jesus…there are people hurting, and it seems like laws are never going to be
enough…It hurts to see the effects of sin in a culture that sees it all as relative…
Taking steps to make schools safe…yeah I get that and I am not advocating against it…I know people have their rights…
I just hurt every time I see on the news…another life lost on this side of eternity…a lot of times we look at the weapon
and what we can do to make it harder to obtain…inside people are hurting…looking for something and asking questions than
we could ever imagine…
The truth needs to be told…and sometimes the hurt makes it hard to sort out…especially with the emotions that keep racing
through our heads…we say if we take the weapons away…we may be able to solve the problem…the hard part of this is we can’t
take away the pain…so many people feel…because of the fall…
Lord, Jesus. Please be with the victims, offer them the peace only you can give…
I don’t know even know if they know the truth…it’s hard to fight for something and it takes a lot of thought…
but we need your truth to wash our sin away…I cry out to you…on behalf of our hurting nation…please show us the truth…
it seems like we are trying to fix something by laws…when I think the issue is hurt so deep that only you can comprehend…
