Spiritual Journey Part IV

Good morning, readers... Is it a good morning? I know for several families in Newtown, Connecticut, it isn't a good morning. For those of you who don't already know, there was a horrible shooting in that town and among the dead were 20 little children. They were five- and six-year-old babies, for babies they are at that age still. They're still young enough to cuddle close to you, young enough to see the world with loving eyes and young enough to hope for all.

I'm not going to discuss the "how could this happen" today. It's too soon. But what I will tell you is that I have had a lesson reinforced.  There is, without a doubt in my mind, evil in this world. I needn't write why as we saw it in a school in a small town. We have seen it in a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado, at a summer camp in Sweden, and in events that stick in our minds and hearts.

For now, that is all I have to say.
