Sad Times

Wow. People just go around shooting each other and doing collateral damage. Our community lost a police officer after someone shot their wife and then shot at the officers who came after him. I’m not going into details. It’s too sad. I just feel terrible for my law enforcement friends and their families. I’m sure family members of the shooter will never be the same either. Our violent culture creeps in and makes us all feel less and less safe every day.

Kindness seems so futile against so much anger. Keep trying to listen, understand, and support even those who differ in their perspective. That’s how we can work to heal in these hard times.

  1. Your words are powerful. Working on the “understanding” part so I’ll be more open to listening to the other side. Nowhere near offering “support” to those who think so differently than we do. It’s sometimes all I can do not to wish them ill for the hurtful words. And votes….

    1. I no longer think we can change things. We will need to figure out a way to deal with watching our civilization fall apart and try to stay safe.
