I seem to have almost highjacked a few threads and thought I'd put things here...

You know about Parkland HS murders a month ago (today?). Seventeen dead, seventeen injured. A huge fallout over issues. THIS IS A CULTURAL ISSUE and we need to pray for it this way, please. (Breakdown of the family, lack of church attendance, no consequences for actions.. and a system with so many rules it doesn't work?)

Today a young student took a knife to a school in Jupiter FL (south east coast) and killed several by stabbing them. He had recently converted to Islam and said his new faith required the murders. I haven't heard anything on MSM about this. I daresay if a person who had just converted to Christianity had done this... but of course we don't, do we. God is LOVE!

There were 2 Naval Pilots who crashed in the Florida Keys today. Both died. I believe it was a training mission. There is a Naval Base in Key West.

The longest pedestrian bridge of this type collapsed today at FIU (Florida International University) killing several and at present time 10 in hospital, 2 very critical. SAR still underway now 4 hours later. (A local contractor had just sued the company last week over a collapse he which he was injured?) Actually this was a collaboration of 2 companies. They are about to lift the sections off the cars any time. The 8 lane Eighth Street carries 60,000 vehicles a day and this bridge was to give safety to 4000 students. It was due to have more supportive wiring or cables which had not yet been put into place.

Father, daily we hear of the tragedies that You must behold in Your omnipresence and omniscience. In Your omnipotence You are able to emotionally bear all these things, but in our humanity we grow weary. Strengthen us in our spirit, who are only onlookers, and prayer warriors. May You answer the prayers that go out for those that are grieving deaths; prayers for those needing healing and mental and emotional recovery; prayers for safety in the future. Father, may Your grace go out to those suffering these and other things related to them in southern Florida. Amen.
