Dear GKs . . . Insight #28 (shields up)

In a perfect world, we wouldn't have dangers or worries, but we don't live in a perfect world.

Sadly, this last weekend (mid May of 2022), we had multiple mass shootings. Two brave men stepped up to try and stop the evil shooters. Sadly, they both and 9 others died – but the shooters lived. This 28th insight is a critical reminder that none of us know when evil will strike.

So, know this. You must be vigilant. Don't worry yourself to death about being afraid of ever stepping outside – but know that there are those who want to harm who they can and they are just looking for the right opportunity to strike fear and harm. But . . . if you and I and others are watching, thinking and prepared to take action when needed – then there is a good chance they will not do what they thought they could easily do. So, here in memory of those innocent lives lost: for Dr. John Cheng, 52 who tried to stop the shooter at the Geneva Presbyterian Church in Laguna Woods CA, and for Aaron Salter, 55 who tried to stop the shooter at the Tops grocery store in Buffalo, NY with the others who died there, Roberta A. Drury, 32, Margus D. Morrison, 52, Andre Mackniel, 53, Geraldine Talley, 62, Celestine Chaney, 65, Heyward Patterson, 67, Katherine Massey, 72, Pearl Young, 77, and Ruth Whitfield, 86 . . . we want to live vigilant lives to honor them.

And yes, I do thank you in advance for doing all that you can to take this on as best you can.

I love you & so does Grams! Gramps
