32 dead on a Virginia campus today.
"The worst shooting in U.S. history."
If I could think of words I might write them, might pray them.
But words don't come. Instead, my gut aches.
I take this ache and point it toward heaven. There is One who understands how to interpret this cold, clamy pain in my stomach into prayers.
He hears. I believe this.

Peace, perfect peace: let. it. come.
Dear Lisa, Your blog alerted me to the event yesterday. I tend to read it even before the news headlines. ;-)
I too am heavy, feeling the weight of so much senseless pain. In response I posted a lament which I wrote after the Nickel Mines school shooting, my attempt to give words to the emotions which whirled around in me. You can find it here: www.deeperdevotion.net/lament/
Strength and blessings in your packing and leave-taking! I love to follow your story. Love, Elizabeth
Elizabeth, thanks so much. I will take a break soon and read your lament. Nice to be in touch! xx
Lisa, we thanks for this post
