A Tragedy in Connecticut!

I am sure that many (if not all) of you have heard about and even seen some of the heart wrenching pictures, videos and accounts of the horror that took place Friday (14Dec2012) morning at Sandy Hook Elementary school - http://news.yahoo.com/routine-morning-then-shots-unthinkable-terror-034139544.html.  I as many of you am completely shocked and appalled by what 20 year old Adam Lanza did!  It was not enough for him to kill his mother, he then proceeded to take the lives of 20 innocent children & 6 innocent adults.

I heard one of the pastors of the town say during a vigil that where goodness is, evil also is!  I thought that was well said when no amount of kind, intellectual, well thought out/intended words will take away the pain left behind from LOVED ones being violently and suddenly taken from you.

Last night I was at my sons and nephews Christmas concert for the elementary school they attend.  What an exciting and joyous time it was to see the kids having a great time singing.  The joy I shared with my family was taken away from this community as they too had just finished having a holiday concert.

Events like these provide us with time to reflect on what truly is important and to not take for granted all of the hugs and I love you's!  Remember to pray for the families of Newton, Conn. community.

Love, Smile and Laugh a lot!

Humbly yours,
