Live Without Fear

It's been so interesting (and a little sad in some cases) to see how people are reacting to the "12-21-12" phenomenon... For me, it's been a good opportunity to talk to my kids about *not* living in fear, and not allowing fear to rule their lives.

Rumors of threats at schools Friday had them questioning whether they wanted to go today.

"There are no guarantees in life," I told them, "Something can happen anytime, anywhere, and no one ever knows what tomorrow will bring."

Although the rumors are hopefully just that, SAISD and the San Angelo Police Department are being proactive by placing patrol officers at every campus- even elementary schools.

What does sending them to school teach them? Maybe nothing.

And, of course I pray for their safety, as I do every day...

But, hopefully it will teach them to rise above their fears, live life to the fullest, and never let anyone's words bully them into cowering in their home.

12-21-12 is the last day of school before Christmas Break! Enjoy it~ Lol, it's the last break "we" get for two weeks ;) 

Have a great day!
