I don't know how to start this conversation because we normally are all smiles, chatting about our dogs, horses and hobbies, but today in a small town in the State of Connecticut an insane gunman killed 20 small children and 6 teachers at an elementry school before taking his own life. I followed this story all day of TV and shed a few tears as I am doing now as I type. If any of you believe in GOD, now is the time to pray for the grieving families and friends. There can be nothing worse than burying your own child. If you don't already know, Heaven Is Real ! Tonight there are 20 little children and 6 teachers in the arms of GOD, and one young gunman burning forever in the bowels of Hell.

In my mind this is almost unimaginable.

Connecticut shooting: They were just children

This was so shocking. Knowing that 20 little children was deliberately killed by that young man has left me feeling devastated. It's really true that your heart can ache. And now the pain has begun for the families and friends of those children and adults who were killed. We need to pray for them and also for the children and teachers who survived, they are going through a special kind of Hell after what they saw and heard and knowing what happened this day.

I'm sorry something like this has brought up bad memories for you, Deb. Be strong - remember that you have done the best you can, we women do the best we can when our husbands are scary. I am pretty certain my ex was capable of killing me. So many years ago but I haven't forgotten. But I have forged on and have a new life. I'm glad you and your kids are still alive and can make a life for yourselves.

Yes I know that very much. The biggest problem for me was waking up the next morning and no Rocky. MY HOUSE WAS NOT A HOME:cry:
I live alone!!!! The house is empty and just can't stand it. Went looking for another puppy. I saw another pug, The pug just looked at me
no matter where I was in the room. The other dogs were either barking or playing with each other. Every time I look at the pug, it was looking back at me. I ran out of there crying, WHAT WAS I DOING THERE, I HAD NO MONEY TO buy HIM/HER.(No job) If I had the money I would have bought him in an instant!!!!!!! Later I decided to get another, I did not care if I was going broke. that is when I found
Elektra!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY HOUSE IS A HOME AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know Elektra can not replace Rocky. But I do not want her to replace him.

Chief,Bostons are my favorite small dog breed. Spunky,protective,and sassy. IMO no animal can replace another.Elektra has her own special place in your heart

You all know me as a somewhat funny excentric old man, but this tragedy brings out my serious side. These children and teachers whose lives were taken this morning are truly in the arms of heaven. My wife and I read "Heaven is Real" by Todd Burpo a pastor whose 4 year old son after surgery ( in which the boy died and was brought back to life) described Heaven in details that only and adult would know. He told his dad that Jesus had "markers" (rember the boy is 4 years old). His dad had no idea what his son was talking about. Finally after more conversations he ask his son where did Jesus have markers and he said on his hands and feet. What color were the markers he ask and the son said red. The boy also said he saw his grandfather who had died many years before. When his dad showed him a picture of his grandfather the boy did not recognize him. Later when visiting his grandmother, he pointed to a picture of his grandfather which was taken when the grandfather was young and told his dad that that was the man he had seen in Heaven. The boy had never seen that picture before. The book had many more examples of what Colton told his dad about Heaven. If you question whether Heaven is Real you need to read this book. Sorry to be so serious, I promise to return to the Happy White Rabbit soon.

Connecticut shooting: They were just children

I've been following it as well. It's unimaginable that there are some among us who feel it is their right to shatter so many lives for whatever reasons they may have. So much grief for the families and communities, all because of one tragic lost individual. This has truly affected all of us.

I think I found a discussion of what you are referring to: 2012: The Shift in Human Consciousness: Part I
I waded through maybe half of it, but it's a bit over my head, and I'm not sure whether to believe what I think I understood. I think only the future will prove this idea right or wrong, and my guess is that aspects of it will prove true, but not the whole idea as it's put forth here. That's just my guess, though. I'm not educated on the subject, so I can only make an uneducated guess, a hunch.

I agree Rabbit,heaven is real.My heart aches for the ones left behind.My Grandmother used to tell me not to question God,still I have to ask why? Why,for once can't it just be evil people? Why children? There's plenty of murderers,rapists,molesters why not them?

hi,,,,,,

no happy smiles here tonight.

my heart is absolutely broken for those families in CT,,,,,,,right smack in the middle of Hanukkah and the Christmas season,,,not that it would be good ANY time.

I'm sad, depressed,,,,,,I can't even fathom it. 28 people dead. 20 of them children,,,,,,,babies!

And Friends fighting about gun control,,,,,,,whether it's right or wrong,,,,,,I can't even stand it anymore. I literally had to take a break from some friends today over the fighting.

GAAH! it's awful :(

First of all, let me just suggest a rule for us here. Using the like button can also mean you empathize with the poster, or have compassion for them. So if someone is telling of a painful hardship, your like doesn't mean you like that they are in pain, rather it means you are there with them compassionately.

Now, I don't have a direct answer to your question Raynes, but I did hear someone once describe it like this. Say you were watching someone weave a beautiful blanket, extremely intricate, complex patterns. But all you could see was underneath. So you see loose threads, knots, blotches etc until you get above and can see the whole beautiful thing put together.

I tread lightly here, for this is a forum dedicated to a e-cig vendor, but want to say I may have the answer to your question, Chief.

Grab a Bible or google it: 2nd Timothy chapter 3 vs 1-4. Also, Romans chapter 1, vs 18 on. Particularly vs 28-32.

My grandmother used to say that God allows evil so that good men and women can foster compassion, love, human service and grief., yes, even grief. Without anything bad happening, we'd never know how to do those things.

I agree it seems totally senseless, however.

Mark, what do those passages in the Christian bible teach? I don't have a Christian Bible here,,,,only a Torah.

Hello

Yes that is one of the many good excuses.
Where was YOUR god during the shoot out? (whatever religion you all may follow)
This tends to be a fashion in the states lately, i'm so sad for those children.


Good morning.
