Mass Shootings

We need to talk about this, but I'm speechless. I was born in Dayton and have lived here my entire life. This sort of thing doesn't happen here. How naive of me to think so. I want to write something of substance about this but the words just haven't been coming, and I don't want to rush it. It's taken a while for it to even sink in. Tonight I'll try again to transform seemingly chaotic thoughts into sensible words. Until then, continue to pray.

And for your lifeblood I will surely demand an accounting. 

I will demand an accounting from every animal. 

And from each human being, too, 

I will demand an accounting for the life of another human being. 

“Whoever sheds human blood, by humans shall their blood be shed; 

for in the image of God has God made mankind.

Genesis 9:5-6 NIV

This was the Google homepage this morning; being from Dayton, I appreciated the ribbon.

It says: Our hearts are with the victims, families, and communities of El Paso & Dayton.
