Beyond Broken Pencils: A School Shooting Tale of Heartbreak and Healing

by Julie C. Gilbert

Human nature translates to competition in every endeavor.

“Heroes are only needed when things go wrong, and today, things went very, very wrong. People shouldn’t need to do this kind of saving. Our society should be better than this.”

Everybody has the capacity for madness, most just have more self-control.

Evil is not a disease we’re going to cure any time soon, but love can go a long way in healing what was lost and broken. There is good in the world. Sometimes, you have to look hard to find it. We can never let horrible things permanently steal our peace.
