As I weep for the victims in Colorado I can’t help but wonder why we are surprised when the steady diet of violence we consume as entertainment spills over into real life and death. Centuries ago the Prince of Peace said, “Those who live by the sword will die by the sword.” As another dark night arose this week in Aurora the sad truth of that diagnosis of our human dis-ease became painfully obvious yet again. We are what we consume, and I pray we will learn to change our diet before too many others suffer. Please pray with me for comfort for those who suffer and mourn and for a new commitment to the ways of peace.
Peacefully Harsh
