Yesterday, a shooter stormed a synagogue and killed at least 8 people. It was another horrifying event in a terrible week that began with assassination attempts against prominent politicians.
Our President actually suggested that we should have armed guards at places of worship.
I reject that. I refuse to worship my Lord in a house with an armed guard at the door.
Have we actually reached a point where that is considered acceptable, desirable? Better than banning assault weapons and bump stocks?
No.
These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.
That armed guard thing was sickening. Then he went on a rally rant about the death penalty. So insensitive. Good luck with the armed guard idea with the Quaker folks (some relatives of mine).
