Why I Am Never #TiredofPraying
Image is from christianteens.about.com "Go where the love is." -- Edie Brickell A friend posted a social media message stating she was tired of praying after watching news reports of yet another mass murder/terrorist attack. Most recently, it happened in Orlando, Florida, USA. Her frustration could have been tied to reports about San Bernadino, or Boston, or Paris, or Brussels, or many parts of Nigeria, or any number of places. I took from her message how exhausted she felt from absorbing and processing these news reports, how emotionally draining it became to watch video of sobbing family members and friends of the dead, the wounded, the missing. She was no longer moved by memes that read "Pray for ------." She was tired of learning about roundups of suspects because these roundups didn't seem to slow the tide of those willing to violently take themselves and others away from this world. I completely understand "go where the love is"
