I Had something Else to Blog About...

But I just got wind of Amish School shooting. I am so upset. Up and down our road there were one room Amish school houses. Every morning the children would walk to school hand in hand. If you drove by, the Amish children would automatically wave "hello" at you.

Amish children are some of the most precious I have ever seen. Our neighbor, Norman and his wife Sarah were a couple of years younger then us, and had the same amount of children. When we moved there, Sarah was pregnant with number 4, then we had number 5, then she had number 5...Norman would come over in his buggy on a daily basis to use the phone with a kid, or two, or three in tow. He would tell the kids to sit in the buggy, and they would stay. They would pick dandelions, and giggle and wave at us.

One day he brought them over and they were happy because they brought our children a tiny cat from their recent litter.

My husband was always repeatedly impressed by the children. They worked hard taking care of each other as well as the farm. The small children could entertain themselves with the smallest things, such as a bag of laundry clips.

This upsets me so much because the children are so wonderfully untouched by some of the evils that have polluted our own environment, for example a sense that someone who is uinknown might be someone who is harmful to you as opposed to a neighbor. I hope this does not change all that.

I know, I saw that on the news the other day and was horrified, even more so because they were amish and apparently it was a revenge thing. Now what could these simple, peace-loving, faithful people possibly have done to deserve that kind of revenge? The world is getting crazier and crazier.
