Colorado

My beloved state has suffered very hard blows in the last couple of months.  First, we had the rages of the Waldon Fire which destroyed over three hundred homes. The devastation was immense.  With all this loss came the heroic fight of our firefighter, police, medical personnel and the hundred of volunteers who stepped up to save our beautiful scenery.  Though the fire left many of us in utter disbelief, God in his wisdom and love for us provided the cool evenings, which helped the firefighters battle the inferno easily.  I like many wept and prayed especially for those who lost everything, and many barely escaped with their lives.  The community came together and we shared our fears and prayed, prayed, prayed.  I admired the men and women who risked their lives to fight the fires aka "The Beast"  They are our heroes, many came from other states to provide the help to fight this wall of destruction. 

Our lives are coming together.  Many of the families who lost everything are starting with the rebuilding of their lives and going through the ashes of what were momentos of their lives.  Please keep these families in your prayers. 

Also, on the events that took place in Aurora, Colorado.  The massacre of 12 people and countless others who were wounded.  In all the insanity and lawlessness, many are questioning why a young man with a bright future would do such a horrific thing.  Well, let's see, he did not fear God?!  He did not hold life to a higher standard of importance?!  He was possessed?!  It could be hundred of reasons why someone would kill in cold blood, and we saw what was in his heart:  Hate, anger, murder, unmercilful and it goes on. 

The families of the victims are devastated.  Again, to see such pain breaks our own hearts. The bright futures of  people whose lives were cut short.  The beginning of deliberations in the court system. The excuses, the insanity pleas the stupidity of reporters asking why a young man would cover his girlfriend so she would not get harmed.  Why would a young man protect complete strangers.   Really?!  Because these were men you idiots!  Is our society so jilted that no one can see what a "real" man looks like.  The protector, the nurturer, the provider, the man that God designed him to be.  What got me most was they had "professional" whatevers who were being interviewed on why such valiant behavior happens.  Really?!  I'll bet these guys would not give you a cool glass of water, even if they saw you dying of thirst.   Seriously?!!!

Anyways . . . . .

 My prayers go out to the families who lost loved ones.  I am so sorry for your loss.  For those who survived with wounds, some so serious that the outcome it touchy.  I pray that the Lord would touch their wounds and heal them.  Heal the city of Aurora, Father, please that your spirit is felt thoughtout the city and felt for the victims families and those still suffering the physical wounds. 

Please Father give wisdom for those who are caring for the victims.  Father please bless, protect and guide our nation, and also Father bless those who read this blog.  I pray they find realness, grace, love, hope and most of all You throughout life's challenges.

Thank you, Father.
