I am so tired of hearing on the news about another person going berserk and killing innocent people and then killing themselves. I have a hard time reconciling this shooting yesterday and losing 20 children and possibly 8 adults because of a mental health issue. Sadly this is the result of the times we live in. Times that are hard for us Boomers to understand because it's so different from the times we remember as children
When we were kids children were allowed to be children. We were disciplined, loved, taught, and cared for. Divorce was a foreign word to most of us as was seeing a one parent household. Moms and dads stayed together and worked out their problems. Kids didn't have to be the adults like so many have to be now. Sadly, I don't believe we will ever be able to say that about this generation.
To the parents and grandparents of those children lost to the whims of a gunman go our prayers. To the families affected by these losses we extend our sympathies. And yes, even to the surviving members of the gunman's family who will live with the memory of this infamous attack we extend our sympathies. This is a time for all who believe in prayer to cry out to God for His help in their lives.
One more thing-don't take the ones you love for granted. Treat every minute with them as special cause you don't know when that will be taken away.
