CRIE DE CŒUR FOR NEW ORLEANS

At the time the picture was taken, the little girl in the left of the picture, Briana Allen, had not yet died from the gunshot wound.  A 33 year old woman, Shawanna Pierce, also died in the the shootings.  The three shooters were armed with two pistols and an assault rifle.

Dirty Sexy Ministry posted a crie de cœur for New Orleans and its people which ends with the following words.
So, I ask that you would pray with me for New Orleans. Pray that we have hope. Pray that we can believe in ourselves, believe that we have value.
Read her entire eloquent and moving post, and please pray for my beloved home city and the people who live there.

The story may be found at NOLA.com.

    JCF, thank you. Some stories hurt so much that I can't write about them. I have to borrow the words of another to express what I'd like to say.
