such sadness.

i am sad. not because of anything that is happening in my life but because of what has happened this last week in schools across this country. last week in colorado a man took six hostages in a high school and killed a 16 year old girl and himself. then an armed teenager in wisconsin killed a teacher who confronted him about the weapon. today a teenager went to his high school with a gun and fled the scene. now the high school and an elementary school are on lockdown. also today in lancaster county pennsylvania a gunman entered a small one room amish schoolhouse and killed at least 6 children, wounded many others, and killed himself.

what is our country coming to? when did it becmoe okay to go into schools and kill children? what about for students to go into their schools and threaten and kill their teachers? who in the world would want to go into an amish school and shoot children between the ages of 6 and 14?

all of these events have saddened me but there was something about the amish shooting today that got me. watching the amish community standing outside the school waiting for answers made me so sad. what did they do to ask for anything like that? i don't know.

i hope it ends with them today.
