Thank you Greg Zanis

This man, Greg Zanis, is on his way to Dayton, bringing crosses he made for each of the victims of Sunday morning's shooting in the Oregon District. Yesterday he was in El Paso.  He's been doing this ever since his father-in-law was murdered in 1996, delivering his first mass-shooting memorials to the victims of Columbine. I remember seeing him on the news back then and had no idea that he would be making 1,000s of these in a decade's time. It turns my stomach that so many have died and still, nothing's been done. Nothing's changed except for the fact that these shootings have become common-place. I feel like our government is more concerned about themselves than the people they were hired to serve. They don't care about us. They can't relate to us and what we go through.

Thank you Greg Zanis for caring. Thank you for your memorials; they mean something to us as a community as well as to the victims' families and friends. We need to see this selfless, giving act in the wake of such a horrible demonstration of what hate can do to a nation. We need acts of love.

For this is the message you heard from the beginning: 

We should love one another. 

Do not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one 

and murdered his brother. 

And why did he murder him? 

Because his own actions were evil and 

his brother’s were righteous.

1 John 3:11-12 NIV
