God's patience... how long?

little ones lose their lives every day. to many horrendous circumstances that are hard to put ones mind around. but almost a week ago a child lost their life in a very public manner. a child (2 1/2) thrown to their death on the highway overpass, by the father nonetheless. to the horror of those passing by, their lives would never be the same. all because of a crazed, human being, at the end of their rope i imagine and under the pressing weight of this sinful world. although this may sound like a crass judgement to some i plead with you that it is anything but. my heart aches so much, for the father the most. what point was his life at that this was the only solution he could see? there is no other way that i can understand what happened that day, nor do i ever hope to figure it out. it simply made me wonder how long? how long will God continue to watch his creations be degraded under the weight of sin? days like that, moments that leave us so frozen in sadness we can barely even cringe, make me realize that time is shorter than we'd like to believe.

i pray for those affected by the tradgedy, and hope those who hear will consider further the state of this world and the end to which we are swiftly coming. myself included. God bless.
