Oh, man. Let me just start out by saying that I am praying for every family that lost someone today in Newton, Connecticut.
What a tragedy.
I think that we've all heard something along the lines of "never take something or someone you love for granted, because one day it will be gone."
How does this relate to the tragedy of today?
These families whose children went to the elementary school lost someone who had a whole life to live. And was never given the chance to live it.
I mean if you think about it some of these kids could have had a bad morning with their parents and left without saying I love you to them. Parents could have already been at work before even watching their kids leave for school. Teachers and staff know the children and fellow staff that were fatalities to this terrible act.
To think what is going through those peoples minds. It's devastating.
To think that could have happened where I live. At the school where my siblings are educated...
Terrifying.
Absolutely terrifying.

My prayers not only go out to the families who lost students and faculty , but also the family of the shooter.
The thing is we don't know why the shooter did what they did.
Of course it wasn't right or lawful.
But to lead someone to do something like this isn't in the norm. We do not know what was happening in the shooters life to make them come to this conclusion.
I want to send up prayers to the shooters family, Lord knows they probably didn't know that this was going to happen. I hope that they are sent peace.
The amount of hatred that was inside this shooters heart is nothing to encourage.
Nor is encouraging mass amounts of people to hate on this person.
Hatred doesn't make anything better. It just fuels the devils works.
God is not hate. God cannot force someone to love. God cannot force someone to not kill. God can only give and accept love.
Do not blame God for this tragedy. Pray for those who where affected by this, that they are granted peace.
Pray that He shows that love, that agape, unconditional love to all of those who were effected
