What Now

A sad start to the season of sun. Two young men down. Too much alcohol and drugs, and their promise and lives are gone. Smiles and energy, and then stillness. Both friends of my children. One of them I knew.. As kind-hearted a young man as you will ever have met.

These events strike closer to home than you can realize... How can our country allow such a free flow of heroin as we are seeing in this community? These two deaths are far from unique. There is a plague in this country that needs to be addessed.... We send young people off to a war at the cost of billions... terrorists are murdering brazenly at home under the guise of a killer drug.

Anyway.. It does not help to dwell in sadness and loss, though it is hard to tear away.

They have returned to the earth from which we all came. If there is a heaven, they will find it.
