Fear

Fear is never something that many people like to deal with in any way. But, sometimes you have to face that fear. I know that a lot of parents kept their children home today. I sent mine to school. There was a threat that was made that was spanning 2 counties, saying that there would be a school shooting today.

I am not saying that it was easy to send any of my children to school, and even my husband for that matter, but, if I am going to let someone other than God to control my fears, then I have let that person win the day.

I can say that I went to Ellyn's school today to change some contact information and they did exactly what I knew they would do, they asked who I was and what I was there for. I also spoke to our resource staff and they have even been asking Staff when they buzz in who they are. They are being as diligent as ever on keeping my child safe. 

I am not telling any of you that you were wrong to keep you children home, but just know that they are safe. I can say that I did see a lot of things that did frustrate me today such as seeing kids that were kept home from school wandering the streets with out an adult. Who had the better chance of staying safe today, the children at school or those that were out wandering with out the protection of an adult?

**I am posting this as these are my feelings on the matter. We all feel differently and I am not out for a debate. So, I am going to ask that if you read this please do not turn this into one. Thank you.**
