I have several things on my mind this morning:

School shootings are stupid. Congress should be investigating how to keep kids safe in their classrooms and not spending tons of money on which athlete is using steroids. Kids should be safe at school, not worrying about whether they will get shot or not. We should not be asking why this happened, we should be asking, how to prevent this in the future.

Friends of ours are going through a rough time right now. Joe was diagnosed with a brain tumor several years ago. After surgery and possibly some treatments (we didn't know them then), he was given the all clear. He had no signs of a tumor for almost 5 years. Now, they have been on a rollercoaster of it being back. When they do surgery, the doctors tell him it is just scar tissue. This man has had his head cut into more times than any man should. Joe and Ellie have two great children. Both are in high school and are worn out with this rollercoaster ride. Ellie is so strong, she amazes me. Both her and Joe have incredible faith. I'm sure they have their moments, but I honestly don't know how they do it.

I have homework due in a week for a leadership team I am on at church. It has been forever since I had homework due. Needless to say, I have not even started.
