DAWNINGS: Pray for El Paso, and ourselves

<p>The Rev. Dawn Weaks is the co-pastor of Connection Church in Odessa.</p>

El Paso! How my heart has been with you this week! I am praying for families whose loved ones were killed, for first responders who can never unsee what they saw, for city leaders who are trying to lead while their hearts are broken. And yes, I am praying for the young man who perpetrated this violence.
