The first thing I saw when I opened my laptop this morning was news about the Colorado massacre. Seconds later the realization set in that the movie theater was 5 miles away from the temporary apartment we just left behind in Denver. I’m horrified, terrified, and extremely saddened by this news. I wish for a shield big enough to protect my kids from anything like this coming near them in their lifetime, yet I know there’s not one large enough to handle this task. My heart goes out to the town I moved away from a mere two weeks ago. I pray for the families of the victims, and hope that justice is swift. May we never have something like this happen again…

Although I doubt you would have been attending a midnight showing of anything (unless you could see it in your PJs at your place), I know that this happening literally so close to home is even more harrowing. Every time I think of someone ruthlessly gunning down people just because I feel anguish to the point of shaking nausea.
And unfortunately, as we are the NRUSA, I fear not much, if anything will change. We’ll just wait for the next time, and pray we are not in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Keesha, I agree. Is there really any reason WHY anyone needs to have guns? We’re not defending ourselves from the wild animals of the Frontier days. I wish we could get rid of them altogether, but I’m sure violence would just find other means to get by. I’m filled with sadness, anger, frustration, worry. Ugh…
