Why are we shown about these things coming but our gift doesn’t help us stop it? Last night I could not get to sleep, sitting in the dark by myself I noticed this extreme sadness that over time it has come to mean to me that mass shootings are coming. This sadness is usually a week or two weeks ahead of the incident, but this was last night! How can I make this awareness help stop this horrible event from happening? What am I to take from this shortened time frame? Any help you can give with your experience would be greatly valued. Love and light to you all and especially the grieving families.
@kammermuller
I can totally empathize with you and I am sorry.
You ask a great question.
In a situation like this where we don't know when, where, how and sometimes "what" but we do know something is coming, the one thing we CAN do is pray/send light/ send love and healing to those who will be impacted by the event.. To the person about to commit the crime in the hopes that whatever is driving them to act, they instead seek help or stop the action entirely. To the potential victims and their families. To the first responders and witnesses. For a host of loving angels to be present.
You can also ask us to send light and prayers to lessen, alter, protect others in the path of whatever may occur. I would also ask that the highest and greatest good happen.
There have been times where many people on this site have been concerned about a near future event based upon how they have been feeling or a dream they had. Often MANY of us are picking up similar feeling at the same time. If we can all send light and prayers to potentially shift what might occur or tamp it down, it is possible that it could actually shift or at least that light may shine brightly through the situation.
That is my belief.
I hope it helps.
How many more of our children have to be murdered...at school....before gun violence is addressed in this country???
i'm also furious about this. Look, I get it that this is the prayer and emotional support thread. But when Gov. Kemp offered his thots and prayers today, I almost puked. He ran a campaign ad six years ago where he pointed a rifle at a teenager, in a cheezy and cowardly display of toxic masculinity. Today's shooter would have been 8 years old when that aired.
So what does the Bible, the Infallible Word of God (according to people like Kemp) say about those kinds of thoughts and prayers?
Isaiah 1:15-17.
When you spread out your hands in prayer,
I hide my eyes from you;
even when you offer many prayers,
I am not listening.
Your hands are full of blood!
16 Wash and make yourselves clean.
Take your evil deeds out of my sight;
stop doing wrong.
17 Learn to do right; seek justice.
Defend the oppressed.[a]
Take up the cause of the fatherless;
plead the case of the widow.
Anyone who fetishises guns is probably already fantasizing about using them. They have murder in their hearts. Pretty sure the kids Mr. K dreams of shooting aren't clean-cut white boys with khaki pants and a button-down mind.
Until Kemp repents, I propose that he be securely locked up in a gun safe, for the safety of teenagers everywhere.

@unk-p I agree with you 1000% plus!!! Kemp and a whole bunch of GQP's posed with rifles and guns ... sickening "family Christmas cards of well dressed caucasians in matching Christmas clothes and holding Al 47's and more and all grinning widely at the cameras - with even toddlers bearing arms!!! WTAF???? Then??? To make it even worse???? They enacted laws for concealed carry and open carry where idiots could take their weapons ANYWHERE they went!!!!! Living around here???? Is like living in the wild , wild west!!!! Keep their damn thots and prayers and DO SOMETHING - mental health care access and strict gun laws for a start!!!! There was also an arrest today in a nearby county of an adult sibling that left his gun unsecured and his 4 year sister got it and shot herself in the head playing with it!!! Of course she is dead!! He? Has been arrested and is being charged with murder for not securing the gun....he lives in one of the counties with lax gun laws.
@lovendures Drat. I had a massage gift card that will expire and am out of town.
I was going to gift it to you.
Stay cool. I have a cousin in AZ, so I hear about that heat.
Oh wow! What a nice thing to offer. I wish I could take you up on it. Thank you for thinking of me.
