God Is Still God

March 27 and The Covenant School Shooting

I was already frustrated with myself for not putting my phone down. I had blocked out the morning to work on a talk I was scheduled to give to a couple hundred women, but I couldn’t seem to focus. I had actually sequestered myself in the front seat of our family minivan, parked a few blocks from our house. It is impossible to write when there is laundry to do and dinner to start, so I was reclined in the seat, typing away. Then a message popped up—text from Zoey—our oldest daughter.

I was not prepared for what I saw:

“Mama there is an active shooter”

“It is not a drill”

“I am so scared”
