God Bless America

When tragedy strikes we Americans rise to the challenge. It makes me proud and grateful to live in this country. I've been asking myself why we can't, or won't, work together on a daily basis. We have the "the right stuff" and I pray we learn to use it on the smaller things. Hate is a spiritual tragedy as real as physcial ones. It's just harder to recognize in ourselves.
