Questions On The VT Massacre....
What a horrible senseless tragedy. My heart goes out to the families of the victims, and those recovering from injuries. As I read through the headlines I wonder what was so horribly broken in the shooter, could his outcome have been different? Finally stories of the victims and their photographs have made it to the front. I wonder if this act will spawn more violence, surely other young people are fantasizing over their own blaze of glory. What if media outlets ignored the shooter entirely, what if they only reported on the lives of the victims? What if they hadn't published his angry manifesto, if the venom inside him had died on that Virginia campus? We would have questions, of course, but what if this time the glory belonged only to those who truly deserve it?

Dreadful isn't it? Just so sad.

Hurting with you....This is one day that I need a blog. On April 19, I drove Diana to the Hibbing Hospital for radiation. We talked about what blessings Paul and Matt are and much more, including this tragedy. It was a good way to spend a birthday that has so many other associations now...:-)
