I'm listening to the news - we live in a world filled with violence, hate, and strife. A five year old child is murdered in Salt Lake City. News is filled with bombing in Lebanon and Israel, and with the fleeing refugees. Then there were the suicide bombings in India, Spain, Iraq, Afghanistan... My soul anguishes for the innocent - especially the little children. Kurt Bestor wrote a song - please see the lyrics below - they express my feelings today. May peace come to the world. Blessed are the peacemakers who allow the children to emerge and become shining lights in a darkened world.
