Grieving

Grieving tonight, so heavy hearted. The shootings here in Colorado over the last 18 hours deeply, deeply sadden me. Two dead, two wounded at the YWAM offices in Arvada. One dead, four injured at New Life church here in Colorado Springs, plus the shooter.

My heart weeps...there is nothing else to say. I pray that the wounded recover and that no other lives are lost. I pray for the Lord to move mightily in the midst of the shock, pain, and grief to bring life out of such tragedies.

And I mourn, crying out to the Lord, what times we live in. The evil only gets more crass, more bold. More innocent people hurt or killed.

And yet I know above the maddening roar of heinous acts, I know who is still seated on the throne. He still reigns, yes, even in these days, in these times. And He alone will win this battle between good and evil. He is the victorious one.

Please pray for all those so deeply affected by today's events.

And hug those dear to you and tell them you love them.
