This week’s FMF writing prompt is: BREAK

Setting a timer for five minutes, and . . . GO.

I has happened again. Yet another school shooting, this time at a Christian elementary school in Nashville.

A Christian elementary school. 

I cannot imagine.

When will it end?

This senseless violence . . . I just don’t understand.

My heart breaks for those affected — both directly and indirectly.

And I cannot comprehend it.

One after another, after another . . . We cannot catch a break. The brokenness of this world just seems to keep getting worse.

The clock is ticking on the timer I’ve set, but I am struggling to find more words.

It makes my stomach hurt to think about it.

Perhaps I will let the clock run and only pray, Come, Lord Jesus. Come quickly.

STOP.
