Christmas thought....
« on: December 16, 2012, 01:35:00 AM »
Having a hard time letting go of this unfortunate CT shooting. Too many young lives lost for nothing.

So, for 2013...I'm hoping every TG member here finds Peace, Tranquility and a stronger bond with their families. It's time to reach one hand up to the Man upstairs, that's what HE's there for and the other hand out to our brothers and sisters because that's what we're here for.

Merry Christmas everyone and pray the New Year brings us health and happiness.    :campfire:

It is a sad world we live in. I sat through my daughters (3 yrs old) christmas recital with a weapon on my hip. I pray for the families affected, and that none of our families ever need those prayers. Being married to a doctor of psychology,  i have heard a different view of this, while i may not agree, it is clear that we as people need to adjust our priorities. I know most on this forum have their heads straight, but please, if you can help someone, please do,  and if you need help, please ask. I hope your creator looks over you and yours this holliday season, and that you look over those that you can.

Well said Joe.  Merry Christmas to you and your family.

I agree Joe, I tried to read the names and descriptions this morning of those lost and just couldnt make it through. As the father of 3 little girls my heart was broken for the childrens parents and the families of the adults. I will be holding my family a little tighter and wondering how something like this can happen.

So true, Joe, thanks for your thoughts.

Merry Christmas Joe and TG.

And may some form of comfort find those families who have been crushed by this tragic and horrific event.

As a father of two grown daughters and being always concerned about their safety still, I cannot remotely fathom the agonizing pain felt from the loss experienced by our northeastern brothers and sisters.

Prayers to us all.

:pray:  Amen.

My heart is broken for all the families that are struggling to find some sense out of this tragedy.  I pray that they turn to God as He loves them and wants to comfort them and guide them through this darkest hour.

I am avoiding the news coverage unless it pays tribute to the victims. I'm so sickened I really am speechless and trying  not to speak of it.

Amen, Joe, and back at you!

I hope all is well throughout this Christmas Season and the New Year for all the Gang!

And prayers up for all the victims of the seemingly senseless tragedies!
