For all the lovely prayers said on your behalf, death is still real in this world and not one is too young to die. The fear you express is so real I can feel your heart racing as you held Aaron to quiet him. That mother running was a God given response to danger. Should you not, too, run? Kristen Dear Erika and Doug,
Take your children and leave LA for a while until this blows over. For all the lovely prayers said on your behalf, death is still real in this world and not one is too young to die. The fear you express is so real I can feel your heart racing as you held Aaron to quiet him. That mother running was a God given response to danger. Should you not, too, run?

Kristen

We cry out for a peace that surpasses all human understanding in the midst of this chaos. We plead the blood of Jesus over their home...protect, preserve, comfort, restore. And out of this conflict, may your love rise as a gentle mist, covering their friends and neighbors. We come to you, for we have no where else to go. We come to you, for you have proven yourself to be a safe refuge in the past. We come to you now, O Lord, to find safety and protection for our souls in your loving embrace. We pray these things in the all-powerful name of our faithful Redeemer, Jesus Christ, the Righteous. God of all,

You do help validate why we can't turn the other way and, increasingly, I am aware that those who don't see truly don't get it. I am up on my coast not able to sleep as I write this, and I will pray the rest of the night for God gently to wipe clean the sounds and the sights so you don't have to remember -- and the same for your children. Much love to you all tonight, even more than usual. Surely this is not more than we all can bear if we stick together, in His name.

The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose,
I will not, I will not desert to his foes; That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,
I’ll never, no never, no never forsake.
