I Do Need You So Lord, Why

I DO NEED YOU SO LORD, WHY? I do need you Lord because I’m in fear of the killing and anger today. I think of the lost lives and break into tear. Many have wandered astray. I do need you Lord because I’m alone. In life you’re my trusted friend. Yours is the framework that holds fast my home. Against enemies you defend. I do need you Lord because you’re in charge. All things happen as you will. You handle the problems both small and large as you word says “Peace be still.” I just need you Lord for more 'whys' than can say. Above all, I ask your mercy each day. 2/14/18 I DO NEED YOU SO LORD, WHY? Sponsored by: James Edward Lee Sr.

A lovely piece relating your trust in your Lord. How do people make it without Him? Touching piece, Sian, and so very relatable. Congratulations on your placement. Reading of the teacher in Georgia who shoots a gun in his empty classroom; we don't want to give teacher's guns. I've been one and there are too many crazies out the, just as mentally unstable as the kiddoes.

Giving guns is the craziest thing yet. Get out of that seat and I'll shoot. Is that next? Thanks for the comments.
