Enough!

I just don't know what to say anymore. I feel like I finally understand why angry prophets ripped their clothes and wore sackcloth and ashes. Not that I'm a prophet, but I feel that angry and saddened by the continued violence in Chicago.

Headline from Chicago Tribute website: Boy, 10: 'It's very painful to see your big sister get slaughtered'

Her name was Hadiya Pendleton and she was killed while taking refuge during a storm. She had just returned from performing with her band in Obama's inauguration. Last year they played in Mardi Gras. This year they had plans to go to Dublin and Paris.

Some things said about her by family and friends:

She wanted to be a pharmacist or journalist.
She was one of those people everyone loved.
She loved Coldplay and Maroon 5.
She had two left feet.
She will be missed.

Please pray.
