I heard a sermon on the radio yesterday by a pastor from the church where the first shooting occurred. It was great... and that the church could forgive the murderer was so impressive. It made my boyfriend and I feel like fools for not being able to forgive people in our life for things that are comparatiely minor.
The victims, Tiffany and Philip could have been us.... they were even almost the same age. It hits close to home. I don't think I would have een as brave.

As heartbreaking as these tragedies are...and your pain will always be a part of you...we can all be at peace because they died saved. We know they're with God. Many have to wonder at these times, but you do not. May you find comfort in that and in knowing the country grieves with you. Sincerely,

I pray that God will keep you during the days ahead and that your eyes will remain on Him, the author and finisher of our faith. For the parents of these fallen children of faith, may your hearts be comforted by Jesus' presence and the love and support of family and friends. They will never be forgotten and you will see them again.

We are all saddened by this, but just remember that at that moment scripture tells us and assures us that they are now in the presence of our dear Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. May this give you peace and comfort.

May the good LORD and SAVIOR keep watch over the survivors of the love ones that have gone on home and let them know they are at peace. And the love he has for them is much stronger than the love they have. Remember GOD loves you best and knows what is best for you. He hears your humble cries and will answer and comfort you in your time of need. Look toward heaven to get your strength, love, joy and happiness to strive through your lost.

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glint on snow
I am the waves that lap the sand
And the touch of a gentle hand
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there;I did not die

My heart is breaking for all of you, family and close friends, who lost their loved ones because of this tragedy. Being a person of deep faith myself, firmly rooted in my Catholic beliefs, I truly believe that your loved ones are at peace with Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in heaven. And I truly believe that the work they have accomplished here on earth during their short (too short) lives was not done in vain, but has furthered the Kingdom of God here on earth. You will all be in my prayers during the days and months ahead, especially during this most holy time of the year.
