The next shooting

On December 13, 2013, I am not praying only for the students and families and alumni and community of Arapahoe High School. 

It is not my intention to devalue the trauma of anyone who is touched by the events.  But, thanks to our social media abilities, I expect there are good wishes pouring in from all over the globe.  If everyone touched believes in the power of prayer, the AHS community has never been safer or healthier than at this moment.

So I would like to take a moment and draw your attention away to the things we cannot see.  The things we may never know.  Let us send thoughts and prayers and wishes and health and healing and justice to those whose suffering will never be big enough to reach the media.  May not even be known by the community.  Could even be hidden from the neighbors.  Let us pray for everyone who has been wounded today, even if they don't realize it themselves.  Let us send our thoughts over the whole world and touch every person who is in pain, or shock, or fear, or just needs to know there is someone, somewhere, who knows they exist.

Thank you,

Lila
