After the gunman went down, Bourbonnais asked the Assam, a volunteer security guard with the church, how she remained so calm and focused. Bourbonnais said she replied: “I was asking the Holy Spirit to guide me the entire time.”

Now that's the type of Holy Spirit I like.

Some members of the congregation reacted with compassion and forgiveness, in keeping with their faith.

Ashley Gibbs was getting into a car with David Harris when they heard the gunshots — a sound like someone kicking ice from the side of a car, she said. Harris said he saw the gunman. "I was in the military for about three years, and the way he was holding the rifle looked just like the way we were taught to when I was in the military," he told NBC's "Today" show. They stayed in the vehicle and prayed for the gunman. "It was obvious that he was in some sort of pain and going through a lot," Gibbs told "Today." "I just prayed God would bring him peace."

This is the type of nonsense that just give makes me ill.

You think so? The praying may have been why so many were spared. As wicked as the shooter was...as horrible as the things he did were, I pray that he had a few second to cry to Jesus for forgiveness before he died.
