I Cannot Speak of Such Atrocity

compassion felt in my chest, in my abdominals, in my mind…it hurts i cannot speak of such atrocity as I have heard about i feel sick what inhuman entity would do such things no human could one would have to be possessed by the devil do you follow such creatures? do they inhabit you too? scrub yourself with hyssop tongs to your tongue with heaven’s burning coal the tongue is out of control…the final fruit is self-control…line up the tongue with God’s Holy Spirit speak life…be whole

So compassionately penned, Kim. October 7th, 2023 has broken my heart, innocents massacred. This breaks Yeshua's heart too. Many of God's blessings to you. ~

Anwar Sadat famously said in 1977: "No more war; no more bloodshed; no more fighting." I'd have simply directed him to your essential idea: "No more hatred!"

I just watched a movie where someone stopped her friend from running from his estranged father. She said the cycle needs to end. I pray for peace. Hugs

Hi Kim, This is so powerful. It is so horrific to see the level of hatred surfacing not only in war zones but here in our beloved country. It makes me deeply sad as well.

Yes, I am hearing terrible acts of the terrorists who took people hostage but also killed women and children in despicable ways. And here in America is so much hatred and lashing out at certain groups. have they all gone crazy? I can't comprehend this way of acting.
