Random Evil

Sad doesn’t begin to describe how I feel as I sit and watch hours of coverage on the hideous, senseless deaths of children in Connecticut by a twenty year old madman.  Are we getting crazier in our society?  What is it that would cause someone to decide to do such a thing?  I can’t even imagine how those parents, grandparents, siblings and friends feel right now.  How do you make sense of this?  I am so hopeful that in the coming days God can provide these families what they need to make it through.  I hope they feel the love and prayers pouring in from around the world.  I don’t know how you are able to process that kind of loss as a parent, how does that broken heart ever fully heal?  My guess is it never does.  Thank you God for every day I have been blessed to hug my children good night.  Help me not lose sight of how quickly that simple joy can be taken away.
