Lord, Bless Your children with peace in these troubled times.
Allow them to continue to know Your joy. Strengthen them with the joy of Your salvation. Give them rest that refreshes. Give them a hope that will never fade away! Give them a hunger for Your Word more than any thing the world has to offer. Save the loved ones they have been praying for, for many years.
Bless Your children's marriages with the love that never gives up! Give them wisdom to know and understand each others ways.
Bless them with Your presence. Give them hearts that desire holiness!
Make them single minded, with eyes that don't look to evil.
Bless them with endurance to run this race and receive the crown You have promised to those who endure.
Most of all Father bless us with love for one another and for You!!
In the mighty name of JESUS
Amen

Hi!
I don't browse around very much. But today for some reason I am at least looking at my "Buddies".
For our society I think the best thing we do is properly parent our children...this prevents a lot of grief from coming our way in the USA.
I talked about this a bit at another Buddy's site on the topic of the VA Tech shootings, and I hope you don't mind that I say the same things here.

I agree that many should/could have caught/stopped this tragedy long before it got this far... but...
There was a time when folks in this country looked to the parents when their kids were acting up...that is, in the eyes of their neighbors, the parents were faulted when the kids ran amok. This isn't ALWAYS right, but very often it is.
--ONE--
I think ity is total baloney that typical US Law does not hold parents responsible for their kid's crimes. It encourages a society to the dysfunction just exactly like what we have now: some small percentage of kid's running amok and no one is responsible for the negatives which they perpetrate.
--TWO--
Well, this Cho was over 21, and now responsible for his own stuff. BUT...what he did HIGHLY / GREATLY reflects on those PARENTS! (and, Asian families know this all quite well) (Is that why they came here? So they wouldn't lose face because of the crazy antics of their offspring? Possibly)
--THREE--
That Cho's parents did not know what to do when he was young is very sad...and it was DEADLY for 32 people! Shame(!) on all who could have and did not cause a better outcome for this life,... and therefor for all of those 32 other unfortunate lives and their families, too!
George Barna poses some very pregnant questions and solutions about this sort of thing. I talk about it in a recent post about the VA Tech shootings at my blog.
