In this storm.

And guiding us through.

Of changing us all.

Teaching us decency,
And
Forging community built on love.

You are living and leading
By faith.

Like you…I cannot get it through my head that people are ‘like’ this. I can’t fathom it. I will always be horrified and surprised, yes surprised. Because I can’t think it.

Unspeakable, Colleen. A long time where silence was all I could do over this weekend, when no one was around. I thought of saying something but nothing would come out. Not even to God.

I just can’t grasp it Debra. Why does this happen? No matter what “explanation” is given for such cruelty and hate I can’t grasp it because it will never make sense to me. I know I can’t change one single thing….but I do believe they will.
