Death at a Church, Again

Another mass murder at a church happened Sunday morning.

It happened a few states over. Someone said it was “horrible”. I’m inclined to agree.

But I won’t be talking about what happened there. Not unless this incident turns out to be significantly different from other recent ones.

That’s partly because I’m just not feeling up to wading through the news. And partly because much of what I’d say, I’ve said before.

• Human life matters, a lot
• Murder, killing an innocent person, is a bad idea and we shouldn’t do it
• Many folks who don’t commit murder act heroically
• Bad things happen, but hope is a reasonable option

That last item, about hope, is something I might talk about. Later.
