Then
they sat on the ground with him for seven days and nights. And no one
said a word, for they saw that his suffering was too great for words.
[Job 2:13]
I
have a vivid memory of when my son, as a five-year-old, and I went for a
walk. His small hand wasn't big enough to hold mine, so he wrapped all
the fingers on his right hand around my left pinky. That's how small a
kindergartner is. They are tiny and defenseless. One man shot and killed
up to 20 of them this morning in Newtown, Conn. No matter what is uncovered in the police
investigation, it won't change anything. Beautiful, innocent little lives were
ripped away from us, and our big hands couldn't do anything to stop it.
