This is what I wrote on Facebook today concerning the shootings in Charleston, South Carolina where 9 people were killed. I do not want to start a political discussion. Or one on race. Or hate crimes.
Other people are doing that.
I have seen the news and looked at the posts and opinions about the
shootings in South Carolina. Whatever
a person's political views, it is
sad when death comes at the hand of another human being.
And so, I bow my head. But, I also feel my heart full of love. Life is short.
Life is precious. Life is hard. Life can suck.
I am strong and brave, but I can be weak and scared. And I am full of love. Love for my family. My friends. My country.
Everything has imperfections. Children, politicians, monstrous murderers. We were all somebody's child once. Somebody's baby boy or girl.
I don't have any answers. I do have questions.

I get down and sad at times, but I love my life.
Amen.
