Taking a break

Yesterday morning I logged on and published my post. Then I logged off and unplugged for most of the day. And you know what? It was really nice. Don't get me wrong, I love this blog. I love reading other blogs. I love the friends I have made here in the blogosphere. I have just been so overwhelmed since last Friday. The web has been alive with grief and pain and anger (and opinions). And it's been too much. I needed a break. I need it still.

So, I'm keeping it short today. And after I post this I am going to work and I am not going to touch Facebook or my Google reader for the rest of the day. After work, we''ll see. But for at least the next 9 hours I am disconnecting. 

Please keep praying for the community of Newtown.

Lord, bless and keep the families of Newtown. Pour your peace and comfort over them. Walk with them. Father, I would further ask that you be with our nation. That you would guide our leaders and direct our nation's path. Thank you for all you are and all you do. Thank you that in our darkest moments, even when we can't feel you, you are always there. It gives me great comfort to know that you were there in Sandy Hook with our arms outstretched, waiting to take your precious children home. I love you. Amen

for you, because we all could use some simple beauty and love.

 

Be blessed my friends and have a beautiful day.
