This happened about 15 miles from me. We tend to dwell on all that’s wrong, but it’s worth remembering that there’s still a lot of good in this world.

She was murdered by society. I will forever hate the majority of adult humans on this planet.

The thousands of carolers may seem like a nice gesture but most of those people are responsible for depriving society of the necessary technological advances to cure her. Damn them all! Damn this world!

Where I live, there are so many Amish, and one of the things I learned from them is that the Lord's will will be done, and no mortal has the power to change that. I was once so full of righteous indignation, anger and hatred for those I felt were evil and corrupt. I truly wished and prayed for such horror to befall each and every one of them. That slowly passed by, yet my inner turmoil was still so great. Then came Nickel Mines. In a short time, I had occasion to speak with an older Amish man on a job site we were both on and when I asked him about the terrible event, he and I had a long discussion on Christ, forgiveness, love and healing and the power of God. It was not the mass of the world which took Delaney's life, it was illness. God has His own reasons for why she was taken; why so many die every day; why the world seems so corrupt. I have faith in Him and His plans for each of us. I hope the peace of His will touches you.

Little angels like Laney keep dying while all that is evil in the world swells and grows and devours. There is no good on Earth. Damn this world!

Aw. She held on long enough to see her wish fulfilled, then slipped away.

Prayers for her family.

The only thing that I understand is violent force against criminals and against disease. Violence makes sense to me.

I do not understand why an innocent little angel like Laney dies in agony while the evil worthless masses not only linger on but successfully devour the world like a great human cancer.

YISHEYAH
(Book of Isaiah)
Chapter 57


1
The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart, and godly men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.
2
He entereth into peace, they rest in their beds, each one that walketh in his uprightness.
