My husband and I pastor a church on Long Island, NY. When the story first hit AOL our hearts were broken. I am still struggling to have peace in my heart and not sob uncontrollably as this murder keeps hitting me. I think because we are in the ministry, I wanted Amanda to have this perfect little world as well as protection from God, just because of who she is to God. You are right, we are not closely related, have never met. But because of Christ, we are connected. We will keep Davey and his son in prayer as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5427321612286294459.post-59755597330413544132015-11-19T18:45:12.218-05:002015-11-19T18:45:12.218-05:00Beautifully worded, my Brother.

Thank you for these words but most of all, thank you for your gift of sharing the love of Jesus. Prayers will continue for your family.

I was sad to read about it but like alot of stories in the news there was no connection to my world so sadly I didn't dwell on it. When i went to service on Sunday and learned that this family was related to you it really made me stop and think what you have been teaching us all along "we are all connected". For every sad story we hear on the news someone is grieving and we should stop and take a minute to think and pray for the families even if we don't know them (or maybe we do know them and we just haven't figured out the connection yet) My heart aches for your family and I am praying for God to touch your hearts and bring you some comfort.

Tried to keep in mind this was yet, another ploy by the enemy, to distract us. Your words will keep me in check when I find myself wanting to react to negative comments!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12572265792449373695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5427321612286294459.post-82005797162709747862015-11-17T19:34:27.956-05:002015-11-17T19:34:27.956-05:00AmenAmenPeter D.
