More Pain
Three more senseless shootings in the past few days. Dozens of families who will never be the same. Dozens of people, who are hurting and who lost their life today, because a death doesn’t end just one life.
Maybe our conversations and journey in life shouldn’t be so focused on figuring out what is right and what is wrong, because there are times when life doesn’t follow those rules. There are times when everything you want to believe about good defeating evil, about bad things not happening to good people just don’t seem true. It is in those moments that I think we should worry less about figuring out right and wrong, and spend more energy trying to figure out how to give life/hope/love/peace/joy back to those who are in pain.
I like the image at the top of your page - very cute!
I found your site from Valerie’s - just stopped by to say hi.
I like how you think…you are very wise. And, I’m trying to figure it out, honest.
hi Alicia,
i can’t find an email address to contact you on… i’ve been reading your blog sporadically for a while. i really love what you’ve written here… i’m wondering if i can quote the last paragraph in an article i’m writing for a newspaper before christmas about why people do or don’t go to church. i’m happy to show it to you in context before doing so, if you would like. you’ll have my email address from this comment.
peace to you
