Many claim the world will end in less than a week. For the 26 victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School Shooting, it ended yesterday. I'm not sure I agree with the timeframe of one week for the rest of us. But I do believe that we will be our own
demise, one tragedy at a time. Have
these things always happened and we just hear about them more because of TV and
radio and social media? Or have we unwittingly
done something to ourselves – to our air, our water, our food, our drugs, our media
– that is creating more evil? A slow but
undeniable fade into collective lunacy.
I can’t do anything to change others, or
save sweet innocent babies taken by senseless slaughter. But I can ensure that my own children’s lives are meaningful, healthy,
supported, and bring joy not only to their own hearts, but to someone else’s as
well. And I can pray that every other
parent on our planet will make the same effort so when it's time for their little angels to go, they'll know without question that they were loved.
