Surely He has heard the thousands on prayers which have gone out especially because of this incident. And surely they have all ben hard. I'm am just as sure there is a real reason for it all and that we will not know until the time is ready.

Hi Jan,
There are indeed no answers for this sort of mindless violence, nor for those who plant bombs or blow themselves up for a 'cause.'
Personally I think we have encouraged too much the pursuit of pleasure and self gratifying pursuits such as the violent 'games' and 'entertainment' movies which glorify causing death and injury.
Perhaps time for a rethink.

Mindless is the right word. I am heartbroken by the recent events in Colorado. Thank you for sharing this piece. It means so much.

Excellent writing my friend. I could tell it came from your heart as I read. We can only stand and trust God. He knows what He is doing.

I struggled sleeping Friday night, my mind wondering how a person could do such an act of violence against other humans. I enjoyed reading you poem. I will continue to pray.
