A Heavy Heart.

I am selfish. Here I was complaining (internally) all day about how this went wrong, or some annoying situation presented itself, or so and so was driving me crazy, and I went and forgot the date.

A month ago TODAY 26 families had a loved one ripped violently out of their lives for no apparent reason. It breaks my heart that those 20 babies who were killed never got to grow up to be the amazing men and women that I'm sure they would have become. My "crappy Monday" was nothing compared to the pain that the families of those victims went through as they marked the one month anniversary of the cold-blooded murders of their loved ones.

So please listen to this as you reflect on the names of those beautiful souls that have gone to rest in the arms of the Lord.

So it is with a heavy heart that I post this, and many a prayer up to Heaven for those aching hearts here on earth. 

John 10:27-29 “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand.”
