Heart Breaking

I debated for a while if I should even post on the massacre in Connecticut.  I have decided to, only because I think our society is confused.

First let me say that what happened was horrific.  Unimaginable and absolutely senseless.  I cried as I heard about it, longing to hold my kids.  My kids are those ages K-4th grade.  So innocent, such a senseless crime.  My heart breaks for the families, not only those who lost little innocent lives that day, but those who lost their innocence just by being and hearing and seeing such chaos.  It's is so unfathomable.

I am sickened by our media.  How dare we stick a camera or microphone in the face of a grieving family.  All for a story.  Please people, allow them to grieve.  Give them space.  How dare our media report every little tidbit of misconscewed information.  Lanza's mom was not a teacher, it was not a whole Kindergarten class missing, there was not a second gunman in the woods.  How dare we speculate at such a horrific time.  I pray that they would back off - allow authorities and those in charge to do their job.  Allow families to mourn and be with their family.  Allow the rest of us as nation to simply fall on our knees and beg our Creator for forgiveness!

Then the audacity of our government to think that if we had another law in place this would not have happened.  That's ridiculous.  If we had another law, that simply would have been one more law that was broken (among the countless) that horrific Friday morning. 

Please people stop!  Stop and look at the big picture!  Reporters, Media, Laws and Government don't save lives - JESUS SAVES!

Our country has turned so completely in the wrong direction.  The scary thing to me is that when this all began, I turned to Ron and said, "I cannot even begin to imagine and the Bible clearly says that this is just the beginning."  I'm so thankful that the Lord will call all of His people home.  I'm ready!  Are you?
