Vanilla 665 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 My best friend's mum (my second mum, I call her mum), was supposed to be at one of the churches bombed today. Fortunately she slept in late and went to one that was closer to home. This attack has left me feeling sick. I won't die, but I can't live without you Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christians are being killed daily and no one bats an eye for some reason. Truly sad. this tragedy did not happen in NZ though why would the prime minister of NZ dress up as Jesus? I am far from being a superstitious person, but the fire of the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris at the beginning of Easter Week did turn out to be a bad omen Sending prayers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
