People can experience both joy and sorrow in a span of a day.\u00a0 We saw this on display on our television sets this week.\u00a0 Neil Cavuto on the FOX network gave a moving report called “One Week Ago Today,” yesterday where he talked about how all the people who went to the concert in Las Vegas were preparing for it one week ago with excitement and happiness.\u00a0\u00a0 At the same time a man was plotting how best to get the perfect site from which to shoot his guns at people to kill them.\u00a0 I think there was more than one shooter, but that’s another story.\u00a0 One week ago today 59 people were alive and were with their friends and loved ones.\u00a0 One week ago today, a very evil person was planning something horrific.\u00a0\u00a0 He was ordering room service, setting up his weapons, getting ready while thousands of people were just planning on having a fun weekend. One week ago.<\/p>\n
That is how quickly joy can turn to sorrow.\u00a0 I have experienced both emotions in the span of a day.\u00a0 Complete joy and then shattering sorrow.\u00a0\u00a0 I write this because none of us are promised tomorrow.\u00a0 None of us know when we leave our home whether we will come back. None of us know if the ones we love we see today, might not be with us in a blink of an eye. That is how tenuous our lives are.\u00a0 Why we waste a second on anger and hatred is something I cannot explain.\u00a0\u00a0 We should love one another, give our loved ones a hug when we see them.\u00a0 Call them on the phone and tell them you love them.\u00a0 Life is way too short. I feel so sorry for those who lost friends and loved ones last weekend.\u00a0 On Cavuto’s show he ran all the pictures of the people who were murdered and I stood there at my ironing board, tears running down my cheeks watching those lovely faces scroll by. Some so young.\u00a0 Some with children.\u00a0 Somebody’s mother, father, sister, brother, aunt, uncle or other relationship.\u00a0 None of them deserved what happened to them.\u00a0 I pray they are all in heaven today.\u00a0\u00a0 I don’t know why God allows things like this to happen. I do know He doesn’t cause them.\u00a0 Evil does.\u00a0 Evil hearts that have no love for others.\u00a0\u00a0 And yet, we must pray for those who despitefully use us.\u00a0 I can’t explain that one.<\/p>\n
So, I am praying that nothing else bad happens for a long, long time. Our country has been hit with a lot of bad things lately.\u00a0 So have other countries, but I have to deal with mine.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I want this blog to be full of happiness and joy, but I cannot ignore when my fellow citizens are hurting.\u00a0\u00a0 I have some fun things to write about, but for now, I pray we can all come together and unite as a nation and rid ourselves of all the hate that is happening all around us.\u00a0 Blessings to you all and may God keep you in His hands. Bye.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
