I feel so old for saying this, but what is this world coming to? I don’t usually follow the news; it’s too depressing. But this morning I found out about the school shooting in Connecticut. What a tragedy. All those elementary aged children dead. Adults dead. And for what? Why?
WHY?
I know that the Bible says that things will get worse before Jesus comes.
I know that Jesus IS going to come back and children will get a new chance at life, a much better life than they could ever hope for.
But why the heartache? Why the pointless killing? Why the wars? Why the pain? It hurts too much.
I want to do something. I want to help. I want to make something right. And all I know to do is pray. The affected families are across the country from me and there’s nothing I can do for them. My heart aches.
In our own backyard earlier this week too, a short drive from Portland, at the Clackamas Mall.
Sad.
Devastating indeed. I think we all wish we could turn back time and stop it from happening.
