It's a cruel world out there. Some days, like yesterday it feels all too familiar, sad and overwhelming. Another mass shooting...and then another. What is going on in this world? Is there that much hate swirling around us that we can't even go buy groceries or go to a restaurant or to the movies or to a concert or to school or to church?! When will it stop? When will lawmakers have the courage and morality to choose human life over money? When will our leaders take action instead of offer excuses and inaction?
Yes, my heart is heavy, my frustration is high, but I have to have hope. We have to have hope...that our voices will be heard, leaders will stand up for human lives and that action will be taken to prevent these tragedies from happening over and over and over again. It's too much. It's too often. It's too real. And, it's becoming too normal.
And yes, I'll be praying and praying and praying some more. Stand up for change! Stand up and let your voices be heard at the ballot box...vote, vote, vote, vote!! Lets make a difference together!
May God's peace and love comfort the families of all the victims that were lost so tragically this weekend, and may be provide strength and courage to all those that were injured during their recovery (mentally and physically). Bless all the first responders, hospital staffs, friends and family that have been affected in El Paso and Dayton. May we all find more compassion, understanding and respect for our fellow human beings. We are all human...not left, right, up, down, red, white, black, blue...we're not the labels that society places on us. We are all human beings with blood running through our veins and each life is valuable. Peace be with you and may God bless us all through the first full week of August.
