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 cannot imagine how you are supposed to deal with such rage. I pray that you will find relief, sir.

Certainly will pray, Pride.
I wish I could think of something comforting to share but I have no words.
condolences, my friend.

Prayers for Peace and Comfort for you and all sweet Elliot's family.

I spent a career working with victims of violent crimes. I have seen the responses ranging from expressions of overwhelming grace to bitter descent into man's deepest darkness.

What you are feeling right now is o.k., brother, it is a reflection of your love for your family, and your anger at unnecessary, inexplicable loss.

Seek a healthy place, and a productive way, to release all those feelings. I can only imagine your grief. No one can or will properly ever understand how the sun shines differently in your life right now, but know that there will be many, most of whom you will never know, who will say a prayer for you upon reading your post.

Grace, peace and mercy, O Lord, to @Pride85 and his family, Lord, hear our prayer.

I'm at a loss for words, just like most will be, but I will pray for as much peace and comfort as the God Almighty can give to you and your family. I also pray for justice for little Elliot. This will never get easy for you, just hold on to as much faith as you can muster and I realize that's not easy to do. Prayers to you and your family, Pride.

Prayers for you and family. Please know that there are some things in life that you will never be able to understand and it can consume you if you are not aware.

I am lost for words Brother. I will offer that the young man is in God's hands and that no child should ever endure any type of abuse. There is a special place in hell for those who harm children. Prayers to you and the family. I can not imagine the rage.

Man, I am so sorry to hear this. Remember what the Bible says "Vengeance is mine, I will repay" says the Lord. God be with you and your family in this difficult time, Pride.
