heart sick

•
My city is in shock, stunned over the Sunday morning shootings at Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church. I know many people who go to that church; it's located near my home. The man who died protecting the congregation–Greg McKendry–lived near me as well. This is just tragic. Senseless. Senseless. Senseless. My deepest heartfelt condolences to all the families involved.

When all people are shaken”
