Heartbroken over Vegas

Guys,


It literally seems like yesterday that I was writing a post about being heartbroken over the horrific events that occurred at the Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, and yet here we are once again facing the consequences of another horrific, pointless act of extreme violence that has cost so many their lives, and so many others physical and emotional suffering that will never go away.


I had a book tag post planned for today, but I didn't feel right posting it in light of the events that occurred in Las Vegas last night. Once again, innocent civilians out for an evening of enjoyment were the target of a senseless tragedy, and I feel completely broken watching the ways our world is crumbling around us, faster and faster each day.


In the midst of everything going on, I simply wanted to take the time to post and say that everyone affected by these events is in my prayers, and I wanted to share one of my favorite Bible verses that seemed fitting, and has definitely helped pull me through work today.


"The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." John 1:5



While my heart breaks for everyone affected by these horrific events, my heart will also stay strong as I continue to pray against the evil trying to shape our world.



Be an angel in disguise right now guys. The world needs love more now than it's ever needed it before.
