Our 1 week old church is meeting in a theater in Copperas Cove just minutes from the Ft. Hood main gate. Pray for our worship and that God will use me and my fellow Pastors in the area to speak the words needed to the hearts of many

Great point Pete, we do not get to choose.

Which to me takes the fear out of death. I use to be afraid of dying, that I would not get to do things before I died.

But I have shifted from fearing death to fearing life. I am more fearful of God and trying to live my own life then the life that He is calling me to live.

What a senseless and selfish act. Yet we pray for him, his family, and of course all of the victims and their families. My heart breaks to hear of such violence. Are we that desensitized? I read the news articles about the war dead in Iraq and yet I don’t have the same reaction as I did with this horrific shooting in the States. Why is that? Am I becoming that callous to all this shedding of blood, or is it because I leave it all up to our government and military personnel to deal with? It bothers me – and yet I am not alone in how we’ve allowed nearly 10 years of war slip by us with a mediocre response, in my opinion. God, help U.S.

@Christie, we’ll certainly be praying for him as he ministers to those families.

My husband is a Chaplain and was called this morning to go to Fort Hood for up to 2 weeks to assist with the crisis. We are praying for all that are involved.

I posted this on my facebook- that I was horrified between the shooting and then baby Shannon being found in a sealed box under her babysitters bed. Obviously this is why we have to keep reaching out to people- not everyone has a personal relationship with Jesus yet. As a psychology person I just wonder what has to be going through a person’s head for them to get to the point where they say, “I’m going to take a gun to work and shoot as many people as I can.” Wish someone had reached that person before he felt he had to turn to that. Not to mention most of the soldiers harmed were either coming back from a deployment or getting ready for one. I will be praying for Fort Hood, but also all of our soldiers and their families. My friend’s husband, Mike Herrmann, is currently deployed to Afghanistan. His wife and 7 month old daughter are left to wait for his return. War is hard.
