After coming by to post and seeing the sad news delivered by Marilyn Ruth, I feel like anything I'd say would be too trite.
I do recall something written by noted psychologist and child advocate Alice Miller. She said that anyone who kills another has already been killed themselves.
This type of violence (not to mention what happened in West Virginia recently) reminds us of the utmost importance to break the cycle and to form new mental, emotional, and practical structures in our lives and world. Life is too precious. Each individual matters.
That poor sweet girl.
May God have mercy on us all.

Kevin, I feel your heart is huge and God-shaped.
I cant agree with you more
when you say it is of the
"the utmost importance to break the cycle and to form new mental, emotional, and practical structures in our lives and world."
We simply have to be responsible and nurtuting to the "Love" in our lives, in our circles and it will spread from there eventually.
Some times there are things we would rather just ignore than deal with. Gloss over instead of get to the heart of the matter. Medicate it - throw a pill at it, whatever.
I know, I certainly have things I would just rather not deal with at home, in my personal life, with my friends, at work, at church even. This is what prompted my blog last night. It is a risk. To me letting go and letting God do the work is essential but not easy. It can feel like jumping off a cliff without knowing how far down or what you will land on. It takes courage to respond with Love(God)doing the work.
Responding with Love is difficult if not impossible for us in this type of situation. We are told God will sort it all out, and I believe that. But I still want to to cry my eyes out, but I have to wait until I get home tonight....
Kevin and Keren . . . .
Your words are not trite, but important.
They are key pieces of the love puzzle.
Love is bigger and stronger and higher and broader than the greatest evil.
