Last night my wife cried herself to sleep because today marks the 11th anniversary of the Thurston High School shootings. She was a freshmen there when it happened. The boy/shooter was her best friend. She was crying last night because he killed his parents the night before he went to school and shot everyone he could. This was 11 years ago, and she still cries every night before the shooting… and for several days she feels unsafe in public because she is constantly afraid someone is going to violently murder her. +Lord have mercy on all involved in this tragedy Most Holy Theotokos, save us |

Conquer evil men by your gentle kindness, and make zealous men wonder at your goodness. Put the lover of legality to shame by your compassion. With the afflicted be afflicted in mind. Love all men, but keep distant from all men.
