So this is what the LORD says to his people: “You love to wander far from me and do not restrain yourselves. Therefore, I will no longer accept you as my people. Now I will remember all your wickedness and will punish you for your sins.” It saddens me that people like this have strayed so far away from the Lord. Thoughts and Prayers go out to the families affected by this incident. Also, I pray that the shooter, James Holmes 24, repents, and is saved before he dies. Love all men, like Jesus has loved you. This man made a terrible choice, and will have to answer to God on his judgement day. It is not for us to judge, but we all are obviously outraged at this mans actions. He will pay for what he has done, here on earth, and by God.
