Thoughts and prayers my friend...

Just know there is a special corner in hell for people like that... Also he will eventually end up in general population. Things have a way of working out.

To all,
I have not been on this site much this week and there is a reason for that. I know I am sometimes abrasive, especially to certain factions on this site, but right now I am completely rattled. My entire family is in deep need for prayer from as many of my fellow VOL faithful as we have suffered a tragedy that one only think happens to someone else. I have dealt with death amongst family members, including my father last year. That goes with being 61. This past Monday afternoon; the youngest member of my relatively large family, My 15 month old Great Grandson Elliot was murdered. He was killed and apparently suffered before at the hands of a psychotic 18 year old that his mother had married. I have never felt such an overwhelming RAGE driven by an unbearable grief in my life. At this moment, this monster is far safer in the solitary confinement cell he has been placed in. I am a 6' 3" 260 lb ball of rage right now, and Elliot's biological father makes me look small and calm.

Please pray that I can remember that Elliot is in the arms of Jesus right now and will forever be at peace. The only thing harder that dealing with this was telling his 5 year old sister that her brother wasn't coming back home.

I am sorry to put this out here, but we am really struggling.

I will pray to Jesus, the son of the Almighty for you and your family to find comfort during this turbulent time. Trust in Christ. He will guide you through this.

I am so sorry brother! There are no words that can comfort or soothe. What unimaginable pain. I cannot fathom your level of anger. I will pray for your family. And for you. And that the Lord doesn't allow you to be consumed by it.


So, so sorry man.

You and your family are in my prayers. My baby sister lost her 13 year old son (my nephew) in a tragic 4 wheeler accident August 1. A loss of a young child by any means is difficult to manage. She struggles every day. She’s good one minute and total wreck the next.

Watching my sister go through it, your granddaughter is going to struggle in a mighty way. She’s going to need her elders to be strong because she’s incapable at the moment. Your granddaughter is going question herself and every decision she made that day that possibly could’ve altered the situation. I know this because my sister still does this every day. It’s heartbreaking to watch.

Just be there and be the rock she needs. Again, you’ll are in my prayers.

Read this yesterday and have had you and your family in my prayers all day. No one that has not been through anything similar cannot have words that will comfort you. Easy to say God is with you (and I 100% agree with that), but what Pat said may apply now: right foot, left foot, breathe - repeat.

I once again want to express my deep thanks for the words of encouragement and especially the prayers. I wanted to share something to all of you that is in that "mysterious ways" way that GOD is reputed to work through. My wife, myself and the older sister of mine and now heaven's little angel. We have been looking for a new church to attend for a few weeks because of something where men are following their will and not GOD's. That being said we had intended to visit three churches that are close to where we live. Due to some conversations we had been involved with with some people we know in each of them, we changed the order of visits. After we made that decision, we went to the third of those churches with very heavy hearts. It turns out, the service was an anniversary service and they had a guest pastor. This paster stepped behind the pulpit and his brother brought up some simple little props to emphasize his points. He then mentioned that he had this magnificent message all prepared and Thursday, GOD softly led him to scrap this well prepared message that he felt comfortable with. He said GOD told him he needed to finish a sermon he had started in his home church, but not finished. He said he sheepishly asked GOD if he was sure, because he had put so much work into it. I don't have to tell you who won that discussion. His message was simply titled "Scars". To boil it down, the sermon dealt with how extremely easy it is to let a tragedy become a heavy weight that will drag your soul into a numbing sorrow. You need to put that burden on GOD's shoulder and let him relieve you of your burden. I am not going to even say that I was the reason that GOD told Pastor Brown to change his sermon, or that we changed the order of our visits because he was helping us specifically, but GOD does move in mysterious ways. The message was hard at first because my scars are recent, but I left with a lot of my sorrow lessened and a much better grasp on the RAGE.

Sorry for the long entry, but once again I do thank my fellow Volnation members for your part is dragging this old man back out of a very deep pit.

GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

I can't get 1/10th close to the emotions you have to be feeling. There are literally no words that I could share that I think would be beneficial. I can only say to reach out your hands to Jesus and know he feels your pain and be comforted in knowing you'll reunite with him one day. Peace and comfort be with you.

Just read this. The loss of child is one of the roughest events in life to deal with. The loss of an innocent to a monster reaches an entirely different level.

I pray that God wraps his grace around Elliot and continues to provide for you, the family and all those so wretchedly affected by this tragedy.

I lost a child, 12 military brothers, and my best friends son all before I was 27. My heart became hardened and I lost my faith for a long time. I pray that you are able to weather this extreme tragedy and find grace and peace. You have a huge outlet and family here. Don’t ever hesitate to call upon us. We have your back!! You and yours are in our prayers daily 💯
