Today as I read the news about the Connecticut school shooting, I am incredibly sadden and hurt for all of those involved. The students and faculty that were innocently murdered by a someone. As a parent, I am terrified that one day, I will be sending my children to school and that this could happen where they attend.  So, as I read the news, a few thoughts came to mind:

To the parents of the school kids, there are no words. There is no comfort that can be given. There is no way to change today. I only hope and pray that in time, the pain will subside a little. No parent ever thinks that they are sending their children to school to enter harms way. School should be a safe harbor, a place to learn and grow and be a kid.

And to the parents of the shooter, they will forever live with this pain and sorrow, knowing that their son did this. A pain that no parent should ever burden.

Today, we as a country mourn the Connecticut school shooting and we pray that together a community, that you will overcome this tragedy.  I leave you with these verses that maybe, at some point, that some sense can be made out of this senseless and selfish act.
