My heart broke yet again when I saw the headline about the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas.

In the face of tragedies such as these, I struggle to find the right words to pray… I’ve found the words in Douglas McKelvey’s “Liturgy for Grieving a National Tragedy” helpful.

PRACTICE DOES NOT MAKE PERFECT

Practice is the process of developing and refining a skill. From sports to music to Christianity, success requires practice. Practicing something wrongly, however, just further ingrains poor behavior. Eventually, practice will make those bad behaviors permanent in our lives. Only improving how you practice will bring improvement.
