For those who know me, you know I am not an alarmist. But this latest shooting has me shaken, even though it happened 3000 miles from where I live. My friend’s good friend’s daughter attends the school in Oregon where it happened. And this …map is even more alarming. What is happening in our world? There are so many good things that are all around, wherever you look. But there are also some very concerning things, like what this map represents. It is time for more than just talk. We need change. Real change. At the national level and at the local level. But what? How? What can we do? It is time for all of us to put our collective heads together and do whatever small part we can to tackle this problem – individually and as a collective group. Let’s begin a dialogue and see what kind of change we can effect. Our children deserve it.
