oh my!! Oh my!!!

So many things in my head..............where to start.....let's start with yesterday...........oh my oh my oh my. My thoughts and prayers go to all of the extended Army family in Texas. May God be with you during this trying time. No one knows the motive behind this spineless, selfish act. May God have mercy on his soul. To my friends that are still at Ft Hood......I am so happy you are safe.....To all those that will be sifting through the mess this individual has caused, may you have a steady heart and hand and may you figure out the whys so that families can have closure....and so we can ensure that this does not happen again.



When I heard of the acts of violence on Ft Hood, I was overwhelmed with apprehension. My first deployment family is out there. Soldiers and families that we bonded with and grew to admire and respect were directly in harm's way. It is one thing to know what your Soldier does...it is a whole different thing to imagine an entire BN in harm's way. At a place that is supposed to be a safe haven. It was very unnerving. Yet at the same time all I could think was....."Thank you for letting us leave there!!" There is no telling how different our lives would be right now, if we still lived in the Ft Hood area. RELIEF!!


So many emotions, it is hard to sort them out. How does something like this happen? Why does something like this happen? What gives someone the desire to kill innocent people? As I continue to read and see the coverage on this tragic event, my heart hurts. I see the partial list of victims and I see babies, young boys that had barely begun to live. Taken by a coward who was afraid to stand up and be a man. Then to hear that he was picked on and harassed. First of all he was a Major in the United States Army!! A damn Major....I don't know to many people that routinely pick on those above them. Second of all this individual was highly educated. This was not a kid off the street that was afraid of going to war. This was a grown man with an agenda, his own agenda. All I can say is we have a beautiful justice system, that I believe in whole heartily. He will have his day....and he will be dealt with accordingly.
To hear people defend him and claim that he had his own issues to deal with. That he was against the policies that the US has established, makes my blood boil. He did not commit this crime to save himself. He took these innocent lives, to protect radical Islam. This was an individual that targeted those that his religion condemned. I have no pity on him. I hope he gets what is coming to him. Whether in this life or the next.

I pray for all those that were in the midst of this tragedy. I pray they find peace. I pray they find the strength to go on. For those that have to clean up the mess this man made....may you find solace in the evidence you find. May you believe in the justice system. Believe in your selves that there will be closure for all of us affected.

It is time to end the blame game. There is no reason or any person to blame but the perpetrator of these acts!! It is time to hold individuals responsible for their behaviors. It is time to put those to death that kill for the joy of killing. It is time to use our justice system.
