I began this day with the
intention of writing a very different blog. However, events today have made me
decide that I should address a very different topic. Today is Dec 14th, a day on which someone
decided that murdering a classroom full of innocent kindergarten child in an
elementary school in Newtown, CT would somehow make his life and death more
noticeable. There were adults killed as
well, but the death of all those young children remains the focus.
At this time, no motive has
been put forward. And even if the police
found an apparent motive, what would justify the murder of all those innocent
children? Of course in the New
Testament, we hear of King Herod who gave orders to slay all the young boys of
Bethlehem to try to make sure that the newborn King of the Jews was not alive
to challenge him for his throne.
But
that was then, and this is too much in our present. I know this has nothing to do
with our German heritage. I will return
to that in my next blog. But for now, I
would ask that you all join me in prayer for those children, their families and
classmates who will need our prayers to recover from the horrors of this day.
