The Bottom Line Pray for everyone because there are more victims than just those in the events.

*********This review is not intended in any way to be a moneymaker, but rather be helpful in any manner that it can be. I am going to donate any money that this review makes, so feel free to forward it to anyone that you want to, because the hits will go to a good cause. I have no yet decided which cause, but I am open to suggestions.********

I am hoping that this review will be something that people can look to for comfort, support, love, compassion, and even hope.

A devastating event happened in the U.S. this morning, and the country is in mourning. We are at a lose to explain why it happened, or how anything like this could ever happen. The only thing that can truly be seen in all of this, is the American Spirit. The fact that after the first event we had emergency people working there already. The fact that they have stayed there, and will continue to stay there through the nights until the last survivor is found speaks volumes to what makes us Americans.

Do not find comfort in punishing the people who did this, because that will happen in due time. Instead find comfort in the fact that whomever did this is not going to win. They will not sway my opinion to their side, they will not sway my belief to anywhere else.

Instead of finding someone to blame, turn to your children. Turn to them and say that everything is going to be all right. Tell them that the world really is a better place than it was today. Make sure that they know that this is not something that happens everyday, and try to make to make them understand that they do not have to be scared at night.

Send your prayers, send your thoughts, and send your hope to everyone. I will be doing the same.
