I no longer want to pray…..for the victims of mass shootings.  I want the mass shooting to stop happening in such a regular interval that I am only shocked for a moment when the news flashes across my social media feed.  I have a similar reaction every time.  I want to see the location of the shooting and then I quickly scan my memory for anyone I might know in that area to make sure “my people” are safe.  It’s a very self-centered response but it is the moment that everyone of us has when faced with these events.  We need to start praying that there are no more victims and pressuring our leaders to change the potential for these events.
