So, I was going to write a blog post today. Probably something kind of frivolous. Likely something marginally sarcastic. I think, although I am not totally sure, that it was probably going to be about goats. But considering the news coming out of Connecticut on this day, that post seems somehow inappropriate. Ridiculous and unimportant. Kind of self-indulgent. So instead, I will just say that now would be a good time to hold your people a little closer to you. To forget about the procedural concerns that were convincing you that you might be having a bad day. To make a little extra space in your hearts and your prayers for the families and communities impacted by what has happened.
I keep thinking of my own daughter, marching around the house before her school holiday concert a couple of nights ago, singing at the top of her lungs...
"Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me."
