We have been dealt a terrible blow; as a community, as a country, as a people, even as a species. Monsters were knocking at our door less than a day ago, and people are dead and dying. Blood has been spilled but heroes have been made, people who sacrificed much and more to protect others. When people ask me why I believe in a loving God, I can answer that it's because of such people. They are in heaven now.
There will be empty seats in church this Sunday, for many reasons. Times like this test our faith and there's no shame in such a thing, there's no shame in such a struggle. We are forever struggling.
Pray for the lost, my friends, and do more than that. Help is still needed to rebuild in this aftermath.
