I tuned into NPR on the way home from church today and was reminded that the\u00a0Sandy Hook tragedy happened 2 years ago today. This still unnerves me, as a father of 3 (thankfully) grown adult children. Here is what I wrote 2 years ago<\/a>.<\/p>\n The NPR report was on\u00a0Jimmy Greene, father of Ana Green, and jazz composer and musician. He just released a CD as a tribute to his daughter<\/a>.<\/p>\n Great music. Great dad. And a very moving story.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n O God, whose beloved Son did take little children into his<\/span><\/em> Almighty God, Father of mercies and giver of comfort:<\/span><\/em> \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
arms and bless them: Give us grace, we beseech thee, to<\/span><\/em>
entrust this child\u00a0Ana<\/span>\u00a0to thy never-failing care and love, and<\/span><\/em>
bring us all to thy heavenly kingdom; through the same thy<\/span><\/em>
Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee<\/span><\/em>
and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.\u00a0<\/span>Amen.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
Deal graciously, we pray thee, with all those who mourn, that<\/span><\/em>
casting every care on thee, they may know the consolation of<\/span><\/em>
thy love; through Jesus Christ our Lord. \u00a0<\/span>Amen.\u00a0<\/em>[Book of Common Prayer]\n<\/p>\n
