Dear God,

Today a friend of mine sent me a photo of a shirt.  I have seen this statement on the internet many times and yet today it seems so fitting.  I will not preach today and I will not talk about the sadness I feel about the loss of life.  He is no longer welcome in our schools, but make Him welcome in your home and lives.  Today will only be a photograph. I am thankful for the luxury of sending my children to a school where God is allowed. (Day 22).  It doesn't make the tragedy less real, but it makes the pain endurable when you know there is something more than this life.  Hope.  What a wonderful time to be reminded of the birth of Christ.  Goodnight Friends.

Note:  Unfortunately, no place is safe from the horrors experienced in Connecticut this week. THis blog post was meant to be a call to Christ, not a judgement.  We have removed God from so much of what we do, but it is imperative to keep Him in our homes and lives to comfort us in times of grief, sorrow, and joy.  He longs to be the center of all things and if we can do that, we can survive the horrors faced by this world.  Some survive and some die, but they are not lost or forgotten. For those who know Him, they will be carried to eternity.  It is not about where you go to school, no one is immune to the tragedies we face daily.  It is only about God and His ability to save us from the things of this world.
