10 and 10. 25 and 5. 13 Lives.

 Buffalo Massacre

https://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/ny-buffalo-supermarket-shooting-gendron-tops-202


Unless Payton Gendron goes out of his mind he will have the memory of these 13 souls whose bodies he eliminated from the earth.

Unless he goes out of his mind he will remember every face. Unless he goes out of his mind he will remember every feature. Unless he goes out of his mind he will remember every synopsis of each person the judge described in the ears of all. He will remember - unless he goes out of his mind.

Payton Gendron methodically, meticulously researched, plotted, planned, stalked the premises, and prepared himself in every way that led to that evil decision to carry out what he did on that fateful day - to innocent members of a community that had no suspicion of what would happen to them before the day was over.

"There is no place for you or your ignorant, hateful, and evil ideologies in our civilized society," the judge said.

10 and 10. 25 and 5. 13 Lives

While the judge says "no mercy for you, no understanding, no second chances" for him in threes - no mercy, no understanding, no second chances - he meets what he set up - in threes.

10 and 10. 25 and 5. 13 Lives

For 10 and 10. For 25 and 5. For 13 Lives,

"You will never see the light of day as a free man again," the judge said.


MAY YOU BE COMPLETELY RESTORED

CB, 55; ZG, 20; JW, 50

CONTINUE TO REST IN PEACE AND POWER

RD, 32; HP, 67; PY, 77; RW, 86; CC, 65; AS, 55; AM, 53; MM, 52; KM, 72; GT, 62

As you sow with intent so shall you also reap with intensity. The wages of sin is death in some form or other - no "light of day as a free man again". You sowed the wind and now you will reap the whirlwind. [Galations 6:7; Romans 6:23; Hosea 8:7).


LAST RITES

May you find mercy, understanding, and a New Day in the Light of God the All-Divine and All-Merciful. Amen.

When things get too heavy in the midst of insanity




  • This must be how Jeremiah felt when he had to seek out some staying power.  He was in the midst of  "a stiff-necked people" and he was feeling the weight of the day.  He called out to God:

    Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee:

    And God called back to him:

    Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hardfor me?  (Jer. 32: 17, 27).



    As my daddy used to say, "It beez that way sometime."


    Well okay then!



    While I dwell on this travesty in a prayerful mood and a sadness in my heart as if Pfc Bradley Manning is my own child, I won't lament.  


    Instead:


    I will Trust in the Lord with all my heart, and I will not lean to my own understanding.  In all my ways I will acknowledge him, and he will direct my paths.  I will not be wise in my own eyes.  Instead I will fear the Lord and keep from evil. Therein is hidden health in my navel and the marrow of my bones.  So I will honor the Lord with all that I am and with all that I've got.  So be it.


    Now,

    "I feel better, so much better, since I laid my burdens down."
