Keep watch over David G as I just saw the news of an active shooter/ing In New Zealand.  David is favorite and blessed MIP Brother and I cannot imagine any harms coming to him and his family.   (((((smile)))))

 Mahalo, Jerry. I heard the news today- at 3 pm- while I was at work.

I openly wept, which is the best response.... News will be around the world as y'all wake this morning.

The attacks occurred 5 hours north of here- in a city ravaged by severe earthquakes a few years ago. Horrific.

Yes, glad to hear that you are safe, David. I did not see the news last night, and just read about the tragedy this morning (Fri). What Jerry said about "generic sadness" was spot on for me.
We live in a time where hatred has garnered a strong foothold. I do not like it.

I though of you immediately, David.  It is such a sad time we find ourselves in.  Ive been trying to focus on the good and heartwarming stories of our time as well.

Yes, prayers sent to our David. You be careful mate. This is so sad that people can do that to each other. All because of religious hate. It doesnt make sense. Are we not made of the same God? Creator is creator. And creator made all of us in love. It saddens me when I see people on able to act in love. Be careful David.

(((David))) - so glad you popped in and let us know you are safe. Prayers for all - the hatred that exists today makes my heart hurt and cry. I have been focusing on 'Let it Begin With Me' lately and doubling up + on RAOK - Random Acts of Kindness. I believe the best defense for hate is love and kindness. Stay safe and know that we are here for you!!!

Dear David,

My heart goes out to you and all the Kiwis.

Never thought about your being in physical danger, but the whole country must be reeling.

I've always thought that those of you on your two islands were safe from the craziness.

As if the earthquakes aren't enough.

So, so sorry.

Temple
