Yesterday, tragedy struck at Sandy Hook Elementary. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families.
The teachers, law enforcement officers and rescue workers
are heroes. The stories being shared about the courageous acts of the teachers
is nothing short of remarkable. A custodian ran through the halls warning
teachers and students, a teacher ushered her students into a bathroom to hide
them from the suspect, and Victoria Soto, lost her life shielding her students
from the suspect.
This is not the time to discuss politics of gun laws. This
individual carried out an intent that appears to be pre-meditated. Some news
outlets are stating that the individual responsible was mentally ill or had
some form of autism. The conversation that needs to occur is about changing the
culture in this country and helping those that are mentally ill.
As a nation, we need to come together and make sure those
families affected by this tragedy in Sandy Hook know that they are not alone. Many
individuals have started funds to help those affected. May God Bless the victims, and may he comfort
those who are affected.

While I generally disagree with you, I totally agree with you on this one. Now is not the time to debate any issue, now we just need to hope and pray that God gets all of these families through this senseless tragedy...
