Our hearts are breaking again...
Thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of a young woman in southern Minnesota. Which echoes the horror felt only two months ago by another community in northern Minnesota.
Perhaps as we get older, and we just get better at picking up the pieces, and holding them out to God to reform and reshape.
The hardest part is helping those we love do the same. The woman in southern MN was a close friend of my brother's. And while he isn't a stranger to grief, my heart still breaks for him. It can be a tiring exercise... moving from funeral to funeral, saying goodbye to friend after friend.
May we all sense God's peace in this troubled world.

what to say? what to say? all i could cling to when faced with a murder myself was "the light shines in the darkness and the darkness did not overcome it."
it might feel like it... but i cling to the promise that the darkness in the world doesn't win in the end.
Oh, Lord, hear our prayer.
her father is in our pastor's conference. our prayers and support are going out. but it seems too real to bear.
