Thoughts & Prayers


  Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and families of the shooting in Las Vegas. 

   Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and families of the shooting in Orlando.

   Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and families of the shooting in Sandy Hook.

   Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and families of the shooting in Columbine. 

   How have thoughts and prayers helped? Beyond some peace for the survivors perhaps. Maybe something to take comfort in when trying to deal with the reality of loss. But they haven't stopped the next massacre. Or the next. Or the next. It's not enough. Not even close.

   The time for thoughts and prayers has past. Action, and maybe a great deal of anger is what is needed now.
