They will live on

Another senseless slaughter in San Bernadino, California. Innocent lives lost and many injured. There is speculation as to motive as if a reason would make this horrible killing more understandable. It will never make sense to me. The bombing of a plane and its crash into the desert, the rampage in Paris, shooting fellow workers at a party... what is going on in the twisted minds of the perpetrators? Many lost and the lives of family and friends changed forever as they grieve and go on, putting one foot in front of the other to get through the day. So much sadness. And there, but for the grace of God, go I because it would be so easy to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. These senseless killings encourage me to celebrate Advent, the four weeks before Christmas and Christmas and the New Year with even more fervor. I celebrate for those who can no longer enjoy the special moments in life. Evil stole these lives but these men, women and children will live on in memories and celebrations of their lives.
