Pray For Paris

Horrible, terrible, unfathomable news from Paris today.

Gunmen.

Hostages.

Open fire.

Suicide bombers. 

Death.

I am making a point to stay away from speculation and rumor-mongering about who did this and why. Until we have solid facts, I prefer not to play the blame game.

But I will say this.

No cause, no motivation, no explanation can justify these actions. 

No political stance,

No religious imperative,

No frustration with the way things are will ever make it okay for humans to intentionally kill other human beings.  

I still dare to dream that we can do better than this. 

I pray for Paris. 

I pray for us all.
