O merciful Father, who hast taught us in thy holy Word that
thou dost not willingly afflict or grieve the children of men:
Look with pity upon the sorrows of thy servant for whom
our prayers are offered. Remember him, O Lord, in mercy,
nourish his soul with patience, comfort him with a sense of
thy goodness, lift up thy countenance upon him, and give
him peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

The ultimate salt in the wound. They've shown tremendous strength and restraint, but they'll need even more after this. I pray they find it.

If Zimmerman or his family had a shred of decency about them, they would at least express condolences or apologize or
show some kind of remorse toward the Martins.

They have truth on their side. And they have plenty of people who love and care about them.

They have held themselves together with quiet dignity.

My heart and prayers go out to them.

During the QandA someone asked if the AG had a chance to talk to them yet she said no, that they had just come up there immediately. So on the footage I was watching where Zimmerman suddenly came to life and was a happy, jolly old elf and his family celebrated, Trayvon's family was left by their team. Thanks a heap.
