America Lost Today

Over the upcoming days, more and more information will unfold about the unspeakable heartbreak that took place this morning in Newtown, Connecticut. Somewhere in all that comes to light, we are going to see images of the shooter and hear sorted details about his life and why he did this or how this happened. If the media covers this the same way they cover most stories, the villain in this story will get more sensationalized coverage than the beautiful babies that left our world today by his hand. As much as I love journalism and aspire to this day to be published, I despise this about our news coverage and the fact that our country has an unsettling addiction to hearing such details above the stories of the victims in these moments. Yet, this is the condition of the heart of this country. Needing to know who he was, how he was, why he was ........... the thing is ........ I DO NOT CARE ANYTHING ABOUT HIM! I don't want to see his face on my TV. I don't want to know what his malfunction was! I ABSOLUTELY do not want to hear about his dysfunctional childhood! Don't misunderstand .... his actions and his self inflicted death reveal a disturbed something, and I'm sure his "mental" state will be the topic of much discussion. Let me make my heartfelt opinion on this crystal clear ....... this is not a "mental" moment. What we have been witness to on this day in history is pure evil. And, make NO MISTAKE on the equally important part ...... these babies are victims! Innocent and defenseless! There is NO he said she said in this tragic moment. Kindergartners who five months ago were not even old enough to even be in that classroom today. Babies! Yes, America, today we witnessed EVIL. Call it what it is!

My heart is broken for those parents. My heart is broken for that community. My heart is broken for America. Today, we lost. ALL of America lost. And, I say that to say this .........

IF THERE WAS EVER A MOMENT IN HISTORY WHERE THE REDEEMED OF THE LORD NEED TO SAY SO ......... THIS IS THAT MOMENT!!!!!!

I saw a comment today about how sad it was this happened so close to Christmas.

REALLY?

Somebody ..... Anybody ..... tell me when would have been a good time for this to happen!!!!!!

America, Church, we have gone astray ..... NOW is the time time we need to diligently and fervently fall on our knees and turn our faces back toward God and pray He heal our nation and redeem the lost among us ..... lest we, as wheat, become fully suffocated! I truly believe America was founded on Judeo-Christian principles, sanctified by God to be the great nation our history has known. As "One Nation Under God", we have been abundantly blessed ..... yet, somewhere in our history, the church fell asleep, and, while we were sleeping, the thief came in and planted weeds that are over taking our land.

If this doesn't wake us up ..... then my earnest and genuine prayer is "Come, Lord Jesus, Come"!
