I remember September 11, 2001 like it happened yesterday. I remember watching in disbelief as the plane made contact with the first tower. I remember wanting to pickup my boys and bring them home instead of letting them finish out their school day. I remember going to...

I would like to think that the strong reactions, the social media attacks, and the inability to simply listen to each other is rooted in fear. Aren't we all scared to a degree? I am. It's not weak to admit it. This whole year has been like a low budget horror film. We...
