want to have something to say about a person who would murder in cold blood little kids. so I am going to keep this brief. But I have been at this "cross roads" so to speak in this whole career thing - and finding out all I gotta do is APPLY to get a sub teaching position kind of gave me pause. . . . and then there was Friday. I'm in.
Here's where I have something to say. My son has Asperger's. I'm not going to jump on any self righteous high horse soap box. Do I think just about anybody could snap and do something horrifically stupid as this individual? Prolly.
I know a lot of people who the "right ones" have designated as nuts. could they snap and kill a bunch of people? of course. I am the LAST person who thinks gun laws are a good idea. BUT do we need to own assault rifles? I know a lot of people will say that's the beginning of ALL gun control. Maybe so. BUT If I own a gun as protection and can carry it on me at all times - I'm fairly certain I don't need to take out 30 people at a wack. If I do, I'm a soldier and, well then - have the hell at it. If I'm a civilian walking around living life - chances are one gun would suffice and really one barney fife bullet is cool.
I absolutely HATE the safety police. I do do do do. Normally I would embrace the darwin law as just super cool karma. But damn it people - this is so not cool on so many levels. I don't have an answer. I should not be in charge. so therefore I am not. BUT am I good with being a teacher? HELL YEAH! Especially special ed. I always said I only wanted to teach adults. I'm rethinking this.
I want to make an impact. I'm done working in corporate leather chair sitting world (really it's vinyl but I want to pretend that it's leather) formally (until a window opens) in 4 days. Pray I get some wisdom. I will write nonstop until I breathe the breath of God and/or get a new gig.
Parting shots. Asperger's doesn't make you evil. Guns do kill people. But not without a trigger man. Therefore. People kill people. so does cancer. and tornados and random big hail. and texting while driving.
Bottom line (final one - really I promise) this life here - what with all the blood and birthing and crying and stuff. . . well this life isn't forever. IT does actually end. early. too early as in kindergarten kids getting gunned downed by a crazed moron. or at 95 after a long life. or at 37 of a massive coronary as did someone who was close to my family. we are not forever here. I would jump up here at share Jesus now. . .but if you are reading this you probably already know Him, or don't want to know HIM and are sick to death of me sharing HIM with you. . . . or hmmmmmm, welcome new friend and if you don't know humans are forever I would love to tell you what I know on a dna level to be true. Basically I'm at that place that frankly - if you don't know who Jesus is and haven't really checked HIM out - you must have been in a coma. or maybe today is YOUR day. call me. I have some wicked cool stories.
