The anniversary of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting was Saturday. The town did not want any tributes or any media coming to the area. The churches rang their bells at 9:30 to mark the time the horrible tragedy occurred.
As a parent and now a grandparent, I cannot begin to imagine what the parents of the 26 people went through and are still going through. They took their children to school thinking this was one of the safest places they could be and it happened 2 hours later.
Since it is Christmastime, our thoughts turn to another child. When the angel came to Mary and told her that she would bear a son, how happy she must have been. Then to be told he would grow up and be killed for people that she did not even know, must have been like a stabbing to her heart.
On Sunday when I was on the treadmill at the gym, I was channel surfing and came across ESPN with Chris Berman. He made a few brief remarks then the screen turned into a picture of the victims names, shaped like a heart. This song was playing, ESPN did not show the video.
Please listen and continue to pray for these families.
