When a storm is coming, all other birds seek shelter. The eagle alone avoids the storm by flying above it. So, in the storms of life may your heart be like an eagle’s and soar above.” – Author Unknown

These articles discuss some of the serious problems our society is having–violence, guns, and drugs.

Too many of our youth have been hurt by guns, violence, and drugs. Recent school mass murders such as the February 14, 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida are simply intolerable. Our society must find solutions to these problems to prevent the deaths of more innocent people.

Only by discussing these problems openly can we as a society begin to find solutions for them.  So, as you read these articles, please use them as starting points for conversations.

Bobbie J Rae’s vision is insightful and motivating. She makes you think about underlying causes and possible solutions to violence, guns, and drugs.

soar like an eagle above life’s storms.
