The news of the events of at Sandy Hook School in Newtown, CT has struck our country hard today. Once again the wicked acts of a single individual, lashing out his hate upon the world, has cost us the lives of too many of our brothers and sisters. Please keep the families of those effected in your prayers. Pray for peace. Pray for hope.
I had the opportunity today to be at Foster School today, serving as a chaperon for a third grade field trip to the Field Museum. The museum was alive... teeming with school groups of young kids from all over Chicagoland: learning, laughing, having fun, and goofin' off a bit as well. All over this country millions of teachers, administrators and parents are doing an amazing job with these kids... providing love as they provide places of wonder and growth. The desperate acts of evil will not have the final say. Evil's days are numbered. The Light of the World is dawning. We can can live with hope and dedicate our lives to Christ who is the Prince of Peace.
Hold on to your kids and grandkids a little tighter tonight and answer their questions about what happened with care and honesty. Pray with them and remain hopeful. As the days get darker in this world know that the light of Christ's love get's brighter and brighter and brighter!
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.
We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son,
who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. - John 1:14
