Another Irony

Tucson is gearing up to wrap the upcoming funerals in angels' wings so that the grieving families will be protected from the hostility of a church that plans to picket the funeral.

Ironic that the church has the right to assemble freely and speak and proclaim all the ugly thoughts they want and they choose to invade the grief of family and friends of those who have died tragically. However ~ the city of Tucson also has the right to assembly freely and wrap those grieving people in love and light and the power of solidarity.

And so it will be that two groups will come together with totally separate agenda - one dark, one Light - both taking advantage of the Constitution's promise to allow us to assemble. (And yes, my bias shows in my declaring that one group represents the dark and the other Light - that is part of my freedom as well).

This tragedy in Tucson has cut deeply into our national beliefs about what our Constitution really means for each and every one of us. May we ponder with grace and blessings ~
