Hallelujah

Orlando weighs heavy on us all tonight. When I learned early this morning of what happened there, I sat for a moment, stunned yet again, at the loss of life. It was distant for most of the day as I went about my business, but when I finally got back to my computer, I found out more about the victims as the names were being released.

I remember reading earlier about the mom who spoke of texting her son during the terror and he was holed up in a restroom and was texting her. My heart hurt so badly as she recounted that he texted that the shooter was coming and he was in the restroom with them and that was the last she heard from her son. I later found out tonight that he was one of the victims and my heart broke for that mom. Her son, her baby was gone. 

I shared this song before following another horrible, senseless shooting… And, as before, I'm heartbroken, but, as before, and as always I must need go to God with my distress and pour out my grief and anger and finally cry with Job, "though he slay me, yet will I hope in Him."
