Rant Wednesday: Orlando should never have happened

Like many of you, my heart is so heavy for what happened in Orlando on Sunday. So many of our brothers and sisters lost their lives in a senseless, hateful, and violent act by one person.

It is hard to put my thoughts into words, regarding the act itself, and regarding some of the postings and comments that have been made by others as a result.

I will try to stick with just 3:

1) This is not about gay or straight..... our brothers and sisters lost their lives, bottom line. It is horrific and it hurts. Using this tragic situation to focus an agenda on your thoughts of gay versus straight is not okay, in my opinion.

2) This is not about Muslims..... one disturbed person took a horrific action. Using this horrible act as a way to enforce a hateful position against Muslims is wrong, in my opinion.

3) Spread love ..... an amazing lady that I follow on  Facebook posted, on Monday, that when she was traveling recently she met a Muslim woman who said "America hates me." How sad is this?! The lady who posted this said she was able to put her arms around this woman and assure her that not all Americans think like that.

People, we have to spread love the best way we know how. This world is in desperate need. I am unsure of what more to say.

Please pray for our brothers and sisters and the families that are grieving.

Please try as best as you can to keep life into perspective and focus on what is important. Please hug your loved ones regularly and let them know they are important to you.

Please be kind....say kind things....do kind things. Don't add to the horror of this tragedy by further hurting others with misguided opinions on things and personal agendas.

This is not about you and your agenda. It is about tragic loss of loved ones and their families need for support. #spreadlove #Godblessourworld
