The events in Colorado the other night are a terrible tragedy. I pray for the families of the people who died and for those who are still in the hospital. Life is so short and you really never know when and where you could meet your end. It really makes you appreciate the people and the time that you have.

I have read of several people that used themselves to shield a loved one or their children from harm during that rampage and I am amazed at the courage those people exhibited and wonder if I would be able to do the same thing. I would like to think so. I would like to think that my love for my children and wife would help me overcome the abject terror of being in that type of situation. I guess you don't know until faced with it.

Well I will sign off and try and get this sinking, sick feeling out of the pit of my stomach and live life hoping something like the Aurora, Colorado shooting never happens again.
