Shalom AKA_Monet~
I had mixed emotions inside me today after seeing this situation this morning.
First, I was, and still am very sad in my spirit that this is happening again. I had my son to kneel down with me and pray while the live CNN coverage was taking place (he was home today due to Teacher Planning Day in our district) because this is definately a "wake-up, get-up and line-up to GOD's Word Call" if every I've seen one.
Second, I was upset at how the media and the school staff kept this young man's identity shielded from us until this afternoon/evening. However, when the young African-American Middle School student shot his teacher (around this time last year), they had every television camera on his face as they lead him out of the school building and into the police car!
When I watched the shooting report today, the first thing that flew out my mouth was, "LORD, please don't let it be an African-American child". My neighbor commented, "No, it's not because they haven't shown us his face". I know that was sad comments to make because in reality, shooting is shooting/death is death and in GOD's Kingdom there is every tribe and nation; however, on this earth, it's like you stated, this new law that has been recently voted in by Californians (sp) will be reviewed because this student wasn't African-American or Hispanic...that seemed to be the talk this afternoon on many of the news-radio stations that I've tuned in to this evening.
Anyway, to conclude my long post...I just want to ask those of us who are naming the name JESUS as our LORD and Savior, to please
interceed and stand in the gap with prayer for our youth in schools. ***It's time we ask the LORD to heal our Land-2Chronicles 7:14.
Shalom~
