Here is an emerging list of the victims along with pictures<\/a>. \u00a0I can\u2019t read through it right now. \u00a0The pain is too strong. \u00a0I\u2019m also resisting the urge to make it all about this or that issue I already support or\u00a0believe\u00a0 \u00a0Nor am I going to rush out and say how rotten all those other people are for reacting this way or that. \u00a0Maybe if we just paused and reflected on the pain, the horror that those poor children experienced before they left this world to be before the face of God \u2013 for what hope is there if they are not in God\u2019s presence now? \u2013 and imagine, if we can, the\u00a0unfathomable\u00a0anguish and deathly pain that the families of those lost\u00a0experienced, then\u00a0 that might keep our yaps shut. <\/p>\n

I might also add a prayer for those who lose loved ones on any given day, some to similarly horrific events, but we\u2019ll never know. \u00a0Their pain will be no less, and they won\u2019t have the world to share it with them. \u00a0So to them, to those who have suffered the \u00a0most unimaginable loss, to those grieving in Newtown, to the victims and the precious souls of those babies, may the grace and peace of God cover their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus, and welcome into the perpetual light those who leave the world a sadder place for their\u00a0absence.\u00a0 \u00a0In Christ\u2019s name, Amen.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
