It Didn't Have to Happen

It didn't have to happen. Distraught Father Kills Wife, 5 Kids and Self, the headline read (read article http://news.aol.com/article/los-angeles-shooting-murders/319604). After hearing that he and his wife had lost their jobs a Los Angeles man went home and killed his entire family then turned his gun on himself and committed suicide.  Didn't he have a friend to talk to?  Didn't he have a counselor he could confide in?  Didn't he have hope?

Based on his suicide note apparently he didn't feel like he had hope or that anyone even cared.  We are in some stress filled times but this trajedy didn't have to happen. If you or someone you know are under a lot of pressure, stressed out, or at your wits end.  Don't give up. Reach out.  Call New Life Oak Forest at 708-499-6240 and speak to one of our Pastors or lay counselors.


There is HOPE,

Pastor AL
