No Words

There are no words to express the shock and horror of the tragedy in Connecticut, the incomprehensible insidious evil that snuffed out the lives of 20 children and six beautiful adults who taught and cared for them.  The slaughter of these precious innocents on top of a list of other horrors against children in this country and world-wide is impossible to endure.  So, there are no words, only tears, only prayers of comfort to the parents which so many loving people are offering them.

This morning, very early, I awoke to a vision of Jesus with arms outstretched, wearing his red tunic - as seen above - and I knew he had been there that day to receive their precious innocent souls into his most loving arms to be safely carried into paradise.  It was comforting to know that.  It was comforting to be reminded that he met them and carried them into the arms of our father.  They are safe, now.  The terrible loss is now that most unimaginable pain.

Yes, there is much for we as a  nation to do in the days ahead.  I would love to see "gaming" censored to eliminate the insane violence of it all. Yes, I would love to see stricter gun laws, but what are we to to about these random acts of madness, violence and killing?  While we must protect our children, I don't know if we can and that's the part that terrifies me the most.  

But, today, the darkness of these days is oppressive and while it does seem hopeless, we have to wake up - again and again, more and more until we are all awake - and stand as one on behalf of all that is good, loving, healing and whole.  

I offer my prayers and love to these dear childrens' parents and the family members of the six adults who were killed.
