Children can never thank their parents enough, or help them enough. It's a gift that keeps giving from both sides.

Taking the time to fix things

I am still digesting what happened in Texas today.

A man. A gun. A problem. A lot of people's lives changed forever.

Why is not the question I want to ask.

This shooting is an explosive situation. One that needs calm, level-headed people leading the way.

There are many vantage points to this incident and I hope they will all be explored.

There are issues that need to be talked about. This shooting should bring them to the forefront.

We are dealing with people. They do not react or act like computers, guns or other machinery.

They are flesh and bone. Not wires, modems and processors.

My question: Can we take the time to fix some wrongs?
