Prayers to all the victims of the #Orlando and countless other shootings we suffer. 2 Timothy 1:7 came to mind, "for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control." To our elected officials, community leaders and religious communities I say that prayers are not enough. God gave us power, love and self-control. It's time to exercise power and self-control in addition to our prayers and do something about the epidemic of gun violence in America. The Second Amendment protects the right to bear arms but that is in relation to a "well regulated militia."
