As I sit here tonight my heart is heavy. My thoughts go to many that are hurting. This world is a fallen world - full of temptations and things. We are all human and at anytime can succumb to these temptations. The choices we makes are like a small stone being dropped into the water. At first there is no big splash and therefore we think the effect will not be great. Yet we see the waves spread out over the water and are amazed at the amount of space that is affected. So is it with life.
To those affected by the waves of life and those who have or will drop the small stone into the water, we feel at times there is no hope. All around is judgement and hatred being spewed onto you and many others. Often the ones affected the most are the innocent. But there is a hope. We have a God that is greater than anything that can come our way. It's the same God that created the earth, parted the Red Sea, performed countless miracles - that God is the same God that cares for each of us. No matter what you have done or what you are going thru, He will always be there.
It's my prayer tonight that through this tragic event that has come to my small town God will receive all the glory. That He will be made known to those who do not know Him and those who do know Him will be brought closer to Him. May we not judge for we are all sinners and fall short of the glory of God. But praise be to God that we can find hope and answers in Him. For He holds all the answers in time of trouble.

Thank you for sharing your heart! I feel so bad for everyone affected, and yes, we all sin, so I just pray that like you said, somehow God can bring people to Himself through this tragedy. Thinking of so many friends in PC right now who are struggling! Miss you all :)
