Inhumanity

I have been trying to finish the post that I had started to write for yesterday, before I heard the bad news, but I can't.  It's just not in me anymore.

Bombs in marathons. Shootings in elementary schools. Too much, too soon.

Folks, I am a mom with children in elementary school and a son who would have run in the New York city marathon had it not been cancelled and, by the grace of God, decided that he was not quite ready for Boston this year.

I am not a fan of the "what if"s". I simply do not have the patience for that. My motto is more to the effect of "if it did not happen, why dwell?" I am not dwelling; I think I am just having a difficult time wrapping my mind around...well, the grace of God.

I am enraged that these things happen in a world of evolved intelligent beings. WILD ANIMALS DON'T KILL SENSELESSLY! I am appalled by the inhumanity in our world.

I know that my little blog post is not going to change anything. I just had to say it. I am so angry...and so sad.

I'm going to go cry a little.
