Saddened Beyond Words

I am so deeply saddened and shocked at the horrific shooting at the elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut.   I just looked at the update and started crying.   So many children, so many families . . .

My heart goes out to all touched by this senseless, evil act.    Which, I guess, is really all of us.   How can any of us not be touched by this?    May we all remember and pray for the families who lost loved ones this December morning.

  1. I seen this, this morning as well when I turned on my computer at work and my heart sank and stomach turned, why?? WHY is it normal now for those who are battling demons within themselves to include innocent others? If your anger is so consuming then leave but do not take others with you.GET HELP !!! sending prayers to Newton families ><>

  3. I'm so totally on the verge of tears....my FB newsfeed is just lit up with this. I even tried some online retail therapy to try and help me feel better but I can't even do that. It's tragic no matter what time of year it happens, but right before Christmas... :(

    1. I have been in tears over this. I think of the moms and dads and the excruciating pain they are and will be going through. And the siblings. So so many people who will never be the same.

  6. It's terrible news. I hate how we live in a world these days where news like this is not so surprising anymore.

  7. It's so awful, I'm finding it hard to wrap my head around how someone could purposely hurt children.

  8. I finally turned off the television to come to the blogosphere for what I thought would be a distraction. Instead, I am finding comfort across all genres, religions, and geographies of those I read. We are in this together, to weep, to pray, and to be. May the families of those impacted have a thousand times the support to help them through. I simply can't imagine...

  9. It truly is just incomprehensible. I hug my little girl that much tighter since. I couldn't even begin to imagine...
