Wondering..... And Saddened

What are we meant to think when something that we think is completely safe and peaceful is suddenly ripped open? It is even more startling when you realize that it was closer to you than you first thought.The big news on every News Station is the School Shooting at an Amish one room school house. In Lancaster. I man shooed all the boys out and blockading himself inside, shot all the girls. Seven of them have been hospitalized.I have grown up driving the two hour drive up to Lancaster PA. It has been a regular thing for me and I am used the the peaceful views of cornfields, and Amish farmers. I have been in Amish stores. Why any one would do such a thing is incomprehensible.It makes it all the more real for me because it is not just a news item. I had a doctor's appointment today and while mom and I were driving I looked up and seeing a helicopter said, "It's going to C.H.O.P.?" I saw that it was blue and wight. Later, at about 3:45, I was myself at C.H.O.P. for a short time. Thins evening while watching a bit of the news with Daddy I learned that three of the girls were in-fact flown to C.H.O.P. and the news program showed a picture of a helicopter. It two was blue and wight.
