Response to Mandalay Bay Shooting
Prayers are ascending for all in the midst of this carnage at Mandalay Bay. When, oh when, will we begin to limit the availability of weapons of mass destruction and death? May the souls of all the departed rest in peace, may the injured find healing, may all the responders find courage and strength, and may all of us know that God is to be found even in the midst of this evil.
