Tragedy in our church

<< < (2/9) > >>

Renee:
Spaman....my thoughts and prayers are with you and your community at this time.  That's gotta shake you up a little, knowing you could have been there.  Do you guys always have an armed guard there, or was it just a divine coincidence that day?  

Our state was shaken up last week with the Omaha mall shooting.  We have family and friends in Omaha, and it seemed like forever before they released the list of victims.  I can't even imagine what those families are going through this holiday season.   What a senseless loss of life.

I think we will see more of this, as our families break down in this country.  Kids need BOTH parents full time.   And as Brewman said, they need their parents to be parents.

Is it just me or is anyone else disturbed by the fact that a church feels the need to employ armed security guards? Is there a history of violence in this community or congregation?

Yes, that caught my attention, too.  Sorry state of affairs in this country if we need security guards at every event where the public gathers.  Then again, with all the wackos out and around it is becoming necessary to have them. :'(

I am alarmed for the need to have armed guards in our houses of worship. However it seems this is the world we live in. I believe that the church in question was on special guard because of the other shootings at the other facility. My prayers go out to all the victims and there family's. Thankfully there were armed guards to prevent a bigger loss of life. Maybe if there were more armed citizens in public they could prevent or at least limit the loss of life. Life is precious, live each day as if it were your last.

My family and I have a long history with YWAM. This was a shocker - our prayers are with those who lost loved ones.
