We grab for what is always there, but we always let go. Why? Sandy Hook

Why did Sandy Hook happen? My first thoughts. My second thoughts. Here are my third thoughts. I have yet to watch, listen, or read any Sandy Hook news. It’s been eight days since December 14, 2012. Here’s where I’m at:

Random religious thoughts? Unanswered questions? People who volunteer for spiritual organizations devote their time, talent, and treasure for the good of others.

These efforts go mostly unnoticed and unappreciated. A voice message last night reminded me. The caller said, “Your contact information is blank, which is strange because you’ve been serving for so long”.

It’s becoming more apparent he’s a fair weather Christian

Apple can help solve many big problems, but not the broken spirit (right?)

 

It’s becoming more apparent he’s a fair weather Christian.

The healthy have no need of a physician. Jesus came to heal the hurting, not those basking in spiritual health – for they have no need.

Pity.
