Today I am so sad – but also so proud to be an educator

I just listened to an interview of the teacher who hid her children in a bathroom as a shooter rampaged through their school.  She pulled a bookcase in front of the bathroom door.  She told the children they were going to be alright.  She told them how much she loved them because she wanted that to be the last thing they heard if the gunman were to find them.  She did not even believe the policeman who came to rescue them, insisting that a badge be pushed under the door, and even insisting that if he were the police, he would have a key to get in.  I am absolutely in awe. And I pray for the Newtown community.

Read her story and pray with and for our nation.
