God has really pressed on my heart this summer to take the time to be a friend...to those I can touch and see and through prayer and contact through other means. I am seeing more and more how much we need each other.<br /><br />Thanks for taking a courageous stand and posting.Janettessage.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01262598732466380229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044361545139026110.post-32993995669258737442012-07-31T17:08:48.395-07:002012-07-31T17:08:48.395-07:00Poor you, I'm sure you were terrified as he wa...Poor you, I'm sure you were terrified as he was telling you this story. It's such a scary world today. I don't think there is any way we can understand what was going on in that shooters life that made him take such horrific actions. Instead of the billions of dollars governments waste on foolishness every year, some of that money should go to mental health programs so maybe this could have been prevented.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04738934059756079283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044361545139026110.post-86777431188575059982012-07-31T17:00:07.952-07:002012-07-31T17:00:07.952-07:00I'm lost for words on this one.

I seldom even watch TV anymore. <br /><br />Young people are braver than we are because they are getting used to the constant news media reporting some catastrophe, I think. We were raised in a quieter and safer time. <br /><br />I can't for the life of me know why people have to be the first to see a movie. I'd rather wait until it has been showed for a while before I would go. <br /><br /> I hope that your boys are aware how concerned you are about their safety.<br /><br />When you think of it, it wasn't safe being a Christian in the time of Jesus and even after his death. Rulers and powerful men have ruled with an iron hand over ordinary people. Luckily we live in a more civilized world, but there are still some cracked pots out there.<br /><br />Have a safe August. <br />Hugs, JBJuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03423754263165266554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044361545139026110.post-33863731889616225112012-07-31T16:51:34.997-07:002012-07-31T16:51:34.997-07:00I just pray, and pray some more.

I have to believe that my kids will be ok when they go out. I have tried since my kids were born to keep the bad thoughts of what could happen to them out of my thinking. It's a constant struggle that I lose on occasion. Sometimes its worse than others. We can only pray that God will keep them safe and give them the strength to handle themselves in a dangerous situation. Thank God you kids are fine.From Beyond My Kitchen Windowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10748389222000989848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044361545139026110.post-78004523204762805152012-07-31T16:16:18.485-07:002012-07-31T16:16:18.485-07:00as a parent, it is difficult to "not" ta...as a parent, it is difficult to "not" take responsibilty for our childrens actions. to not feel like everything they do is a reflection of something we did right or wrong. i believe you can do everything "right" as a parent and tragic things can still happen.<br /><br />it's a sad story for everyone involved. one i have not followed and know very little about. i try to focus more on the positive events of the world, like all the wonderful, dedicated athletes in the olympic games.<br /><br />i did enjoy this entry kim, i always enjoy the stories you share. xoDebbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16823369215793154260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044361545139026110.post-74712797653645607862012-07-31T15:53:18.225-07:002012-07-31T15:53:18.225-07:00I feel your fear- so glad your sons were ok and no...I feel your fear- so glad your sons were ok and nothing happened.Coloring Outside the Lineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15289093479063221765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044361545139026110.post-74910313409763180942012-07-31T15:02:43.700-07:002012-07-31T15:02:43.700-07:00Someone told me the boy's mother said, "I...Someone told me the boy's mother said, "I'm not surprised."

I almost wanted to scream at him and ask him "Why did you go see that movie?!?! You shouldn't be going to the movies!!!" I had to calm myself down and remember - he is standing in front of me, just fine, and to live in fear is not Godly. It breaks my heart, I have been thinking of the shooting every day since it happened.Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11392778734716743812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044361545139026110.post-67783333511530494602012-07-31T13:39:51.645-07:002012-07-31T13:39:51.645-07:00A thoughtful post..thanks for sharing it.A thoughtful post..thanks for sharing it.Miss Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15912779661977359332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044361545139026110.post-72305912806128694132012-07-31T12:33:16.245-07:002012-07-31T12:33:16.245-07:00Great post, Kim.

I have stopped trying to figure them all out, there's too many. I just do what I can to stop them before they hurt others or themselves more. Everyone is dealing with the hand dealt as best as they can, I assume. Some just have better judgment or sense than others.<br /><br />~LynnRazzberry Cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17644607616585345473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044361545139026110.post-83412776767708153562012-07-31T12:30:09.111-07:002012-07-31T12:30:09.111-07:00Our son and his cousin went to see this movie, and...Our son and his cousin went to see this movie, and I was really nervous about it.

As mothers we never get over worrying about their safety. We have to trust in God that with our guidance and His they will be safe. Doesn't always happen. I wish it could.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12020604933621899108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044361545139026110.post-88973822302792031902012-07-31T10:52:12.939-07:002012-07-31T10:52:12.939-07:00Thank you for this post, Kim. That sounds like a ...Thank you for this post, Kim. That sounds like a really scary situation for your son and his friends at the movie theater. It was so heartbreaking what happened in Colo. My very first thought when I heard about it was to pray for the parents of the shooter. Because you know they hurt like crazy at this sad, sad thing their son has done. You have put it into words so well. I think just about any tragedy in the world could be any of us going through it, on any side. This world can be such a sad place sometimes. It all just drives me to my knees in prayer.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16562989307286675615noreply@blogger.com
