What are we supposed to say and do at times like these? Reflect? Learn? Listen? Discuss? All of these are good, but I believe as Christians we are to show the love of God to a broken and hurting world. These conversations are not easy...and this one is most definitely a difficult reflection. This is just the beginning of trying to sort out the path in the world we face today.  Love like Jesus.
