We Promised to Remember

It was twenty-two years ago Tuesday when the unthinkable became the unimaginable. 


On April 20, 1999, the world ended for Cassie Bernall, 17; Steven Curnow, 14; Corey DePooter, 17; Kelly Fleming, 16; Matthew Kechter, 16; Daniel Mauser, 15; Daniel Rohrbough, 15; William "Dave" Sanders, 47; Rachel Scott, 17; Isaiah Shoels, 18; John Tomlin, 16; Lauren Townsend, 18, and Kyle Velasquez, 16. 

And today all we do is shrug and sigh when the news of the casualties from the latest carnage reaches us on a near-daily basis.

Twenty-two years and how many casualties ago?

Far too many.

Merry Christmas

I love the idea that somewhere, all day long, it's just starting to be Christmas Day.  Hope that's happening right now where you are...
