Hate has a price… every little word that’s said just piles up until a single person decides to act… horrific.

So true…too high a price to pay!

Powerful, Lynn. Thank you for sharing your lament with me, with us all. How long, O Lord? Sad echos of Habakkuk. Surely this hatred must end in more than slaughtered lives. It will only end with love, such as you have shared here. Thank you.
