One of the most moving things I have ever seen on TV was a very special 700 Club program following the Sandy Hook<\/strong> massacre that included a special interview with family therapist Ron Deal<\/strong> about his first hand experience with tragedy and loss and how he was able to trust God again.\u00a0 Ron knew exactly how many days it was since his 12-year old son, Conner, died 3 years ago, that’s how fresh this hurt still cuts him.\u00a0 He and his wife, Nan, shared their utter despair and complete desolation following their son’s death. They lived the Christian life and did it all right.\u00a0 They asked, “Why?”\u00a0 See how they recovered and was able to trust God again!<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you or anyone you know has ever felt despair, so deep, that Christian platitudes can’t meet your needs because your heart has been so horribly broken that God seemed like He abandoned you and you can’t find Him anywhere, then don’t miss this video.\u00a0 It will help!<\/p>\n

I know it will help because there is someone who I love very much who has recently experienced a horrible great loss.\u00a0 I had them over to watch this video and it blessed them.<\/p>\n

May it bless you too!<\/p>\n

Ron Deal and his wife, Nan, were on the 700 Club talking about the death of their son, Connor. The video link follows. “Trusting God again after tragedy.”\u00a0 This is a wonderful video anyone from Sandy Hook, Newtown, CN should view.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Please view it.\u00a0 It is very comforting and relieves the guilt when you feel abandoned and faith just isn’t working for you!\u00a0 Receive it’s healing!\u00a0 It is filled with blessings.<\/p>\n

The video appeared on Dec 17, 2012 on the 700 Club.

He continued that God wasn't important, wasn't real, and our parents just used God to impose restrictions on us because they were inadequate to parent effectively. I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House. I search the Internet for items that ought to serve as a warning to Americans and Christians all through America, but the nation seems to be sleeping. Wake up America!
