Tragedy at New Life

Thinking a lot about Brady and what happened at New Life yesterday.

-I can't imagine being in Brady's spot where next week some people will have to deal with the fear of what happened yesterday again. When I saw Brady on Fox News yesterday he looked broken for his people. Can't wait to listen to next week's message to hear what the Lord uses him to say. I have a feeling it's going to be one of New Life's finer hours.

-I can't imagine being a parent of a child that I was picking up and hadn't made it to class before the shooting began. The emotions I would feel. The speed I would run with. Nothing would have stopped me from getting to the kids classes.

-I can't imagine being a husband whose wife was out in the parking lot waiting for me to come out with the kids. A shooter between me and her. The helplessness. I can't imagine it.

-I can imagine being the guy who drew his weapon and protected many people by putting the shooter down. I'd like to say that I can't imagine it but I can. It saved lives. It was right for him to be carrying. I wish certain former le's at Gateway would be given the right to carry...I imagine after this, they will.

My prayers are with Brady and New Life today. Especially with the families of those who were shot and those who were around when it happened.

Lord, protect us like the overprotective father that you are. Protect me, protect my wife, protect my kids and all those that I love.

This kind of junk is ridiculous. Enough.
