Tuesday evening a bus full of schoolchildren crashed against a tunnel wall in Switzerland. 28 persons died. 22 of them were children barely 12 years old. 24 are severely wounded of which three in very critical conditions. May I ask everybody to pray for those young lives and their relatives. God bless them |

The families may be asking 'Why us ?' It is difficult to find an answer. These tragic accidents touch us all, and it all seems so unfair that young lives are cut short in this way. I hope that the survivors are getting the best possible medical treatment, and in time they will be able to recover from this tragedy. If they believe in a benevolent God, I hope that their prayers are answered.

I have felt for an long time now that there seems to be this thing with various forms of child abuse in the world in general that needs removed...as it seems to be higher then the just the calling of the people involved these days. We need to really protect them...but in this case, most likely that was being done anyway...tragic accident indeed. Prayers given. |
