Prayers, and tears, are all I have to offer the parents in Newtown, Connecticut, tonight who have lost their children to this barbaric, senseless day today. I may even know some of the families, having lived and worked one town away for many, many years, and sharing a church with some.

There simply are no words. God, save those families. Hold them in the palm of Your hand.

As this person said regarding what this young man did to ruin and destroy so many lives today, "This is the face of mental illness."
