In the past it has been common for me to trash our Sunday plans when an event such as the mass shooting in Florida takes place, and start all over. Sean Spyres is to be applauded for being both effective and gracious about last minute changes. However, this time, I am going to stay the course and not switch to talk about the Florida murders.  I have noticed that the humorous news site, The Onion, has taken to re-printing the same article after every mass shooting, underscoring how common and how repetitive these tragedies are:

‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens

In, more or less, the same spirit, our good friend, Dr Nicole Plyler Fisk, went back and reposted an excellent article she had written following the last school shooting. You should take a minute and read it:https://m.dailykos.com/stories/2018/2/14/1713789/-Yep-Your-Prayers-Are-Noxious-And-That-s-Biblical
So I am going to follow the lead of Nicole and The Onion and not write a new sermon or article on a topic you have heard me address many times. Below is a link to the sermon I delivered five years ago in the wake of the Sandy Hook Massacre. Honestly, I have nothing to add to this:Kicking the Darkness Until it Bleeds Daylight
