A crime close to home (er, work)

Peopled are killed every day in every country around the world. Yesterday's Holocaust Museum shooting brought that message home to us. I work right next to the Holocaust Museum. I had been out for a jog with a friend from work around the time of the incident. As we closed our running circuit, we ran right past--within a fifty feet of--the Holocaust Museum. That was only about 5-10 minutes after the fatal scuffle. A portion of my building had to be immediately vacated, but I was not among that number.

A good reminder, however, to pray for those who are meeting their maker every minute of every day. Life is tenuous. I stand reminded of this message and of the importance of availing every day granted to me in this world.
