In the wake of everything that's happened in Connecticut, I don't feel it's right to 'complain' about the stresses of Christmas... not today.
Instead of typing, I'm going to hug my kids a little tighter tonight and pray for those families who would love to have these 'stresses' as they start to plan their child's funeral.

Lord, there are no words. We don't/can't understand why someone would do what that boy did. In the last few months, we our sense of safety (which has been holding on by a thread since Columbine/ Virginia Tech/ 9-11/ Aurora) fell out from under us. We want to understand, but we can't. All we can do is hug our families, thank you for them, and live each moment to the fullest because we most certainly aren't promised a tomorrow. Be with the grieving, the scared, the angry, the hurt, the mournful, the in shock, the families, the community, the country, the world... we need it. In Jesus's name I pray. Amen.
