Remembering The Events Of September 11, 2001

Today we remember the events of the day of September 11, 2001. Terror was brought to New York City, Washington DC and Shanksville, Pennsylvania. It was a day that will live in the memory of people around the world forever. It was a day when people were lost, but a day when people were heroes too. Let’s be mindful of what happened and hope it will never happen again.

A Note About Charlie Kirk

Thou shall not murder… The Ten Commandments

Hundreds if not thousands of people have died due to gun violence. Many of them have been students in schools of all levels of learning. Guns and gun violence have been a systemic illness in this nation for years. I mourn for Charlie Kirk’s family, but I have a hard time mourning for him due to the fact his philosophy along with other conservatives have stopped any meaningful action on gun violence. I think of myself as an empathetic and sympathetic person, but today when there was another school shooting event in Colorado, Charlie Kirk’s death has consumed the attention of many who could do something about gun violence.

Charlie Kirk will rest in peace, his death is unfortunate, but there are many who still live with the pain of family and friends who have died due to guns.
