The Morning After....No Pill to take it away

My thought as I awoke this morning was that the events of yesterday are real.  My dreams throughout the night were not.  How I wish the two could have been flipped and i woke up in an altered reality.   The first thought of so many families this morning who are unable to sleep.  My prayer is for God to take away their sorrow, but there is so little solace for them right now.  No prayer, no speech from the president, nothing is going to sooth this pain they feel. Nothing.

As for the rest of us.  The first knee jerk reaction is to call for more gun control.  As i am an opponent for our current “Gun Culture”, lets not try to pacify our society by calling for something that will never make it through.  

So what's the real problem?  I don’t know... I guess that is the part that keeps me up at night.  That’s the part that I am the most fearful of is that there is no rhyme or reason to these events.  7 attacks on the public have occurred in this year alone.  My heart is still in mourning for the acts that happened a year ago in Norway.  These senseless acts are just that.  Senseless.  Trying to wrap legislation to try and stop the acts of the unbalanced will only promote future hysteria.

Where do we go from here?  We can’t live in a bubble.  The world is a scarier place than ever before.  Take each day, each moment, and  know that they are fickle.  Like a candle in the wind.  Love those around you like it was the time you would ever see them.  Come together and show celebrate the life  we have while we have it... for tomorrow is not promised, and our dreams are never the reality.
