Peace

After posting on joy Thursday,  Friday brought a major tragedy and a number of minor let downs. First I turned on the TV/DVD player to do my morning work out and became aware of an overnight shooting at the premiere of Batman in Colorado that left 12 dead and over 50 injured. Why I asked myself would a young man unleash such violence on others and what went wrong in his life that lead him to such violence. As the day went on John didn't feel well and missed out on a get together with friends, Elle learned she didn't get the job at Children's she had interviewed for and Gary is still dealing with health issues. Joy? Well I sure didn't feel joy but I can honestly say I felt peace. I know God is in control and will bring good out of all these situations. In reflecting I believe peace and joy are both fruits of trust in God. And so...Jesus, I trust in you!
