That's how I describe it too. I'll never understand how someone can take so many innocent lives like that. I still can't believe this has happened and I don't know anyone involved - I can't imagine how those must feel who are close to someone involved.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02441176684416139172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2845194771436706462.post-19968452022650730692007-04-18T19:48:00.000-05:002007-04-18T19:48:00.000-05:00As you know, this really rattled me.

I would constantly run scenarios through my head of how I would protect my students, how I would get my door locked, etc. As teachers, our fear is not only for ourselves, but the lives in our charge. <BR/>Prayers for the wounded students and their families, loved ones of the victims and all who were present during this tragic event. May God direct us in how to reach people who are capable of doing these evil acts and turn them towards Him.Jacqnielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00441528320125033369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2845194771436706462.post-67289893415813511242007-04-16T22:36:00.000-05:002007-04-16T22:36:00.000-05:00Nik - make sure you send me your address when you'...Nik - make sure you send me your address when you're up and running!

Always watch your back. But, as a mom I compelled to NOT say such things. Sure, you tell them to be safe. No talking to strangers, etc. But, at this age, just when you think you should tell them something like this, you look at what is on the tellie and shut it off so that they aren't scared every time they walk out the front door. <BR/><BR/>I was just going to go onto my "blog" and write a note to my babies, just as you did to Mason. This horrific event has compelled me to do so. Problem being, I know that MySpace won't be around forever, so I am seriously thinking of opening one here so that it is here for the duration. For some reason, when I went to sign on to mine, I decided to come to yours first. I'm glad I did.<BR/><BR/>I thank God every single day for letting me have one more day to enjoy my children and their antics. I hate hate hate the sound of the alarm going off, but once I really come to, I thank Him for letting me hear that alarm clock just one more time. How lucky are we that we got to tuck our beautiful children in tonight, safe and sound, into their warm beds, only so they can come into ours at 3 AM to cuddle? And these parents no longer have that. No more calls asking, "Mom, can you PLEASE put $100 into my account, I am overdrawn AGAIN and haven't eaten in two days!!!" Oh, how I will try..... and try HARD to remember today when I have three kids in college asking me for money.nikkis30by30https://www.blogger.com/profile/03442782590631563456noreply@blogger.com
