Dear Editor,

I cried today. I cried for all the victims of the Florida school shooting and for their families and loved ones. I cried for the staff at that school and for the whole community. I cried for Nikolas Cruz.

James 5:16 says, "...The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results."
