Dr. George Tiller Shot and Killed in Wichita

Dr. George Tiller was shot and killed at his church this morning in Wichita. He was pronounced dead at the scene, according to news reports from KAKE. Dr. Tiller, who performed abortions, was a controversial figure in the abortion debate and had been a victim of attempts on his life before.

I will never understand why anyone with an "all life is precious" belief thinks murder is an appropriate way to demonstrate that.

When you whip people into a frenzy over any topic, some of them will go too far with it.  I don't think there has ever been a case of a person with a pro-choice mindset killing someone with a pro-life mindset because of their beliefs. What is happening in the pro-life movement that results in this dramatic reaction?

My sympathies to the family and friends of Dr. Tiller.

Make New Dreams

"Make new dreams" is the advice I gave to a friend a few years ago, and repeated the other night, in response to a question she asked. It sounds so simple. It's three words. How complex can it be? Right?

Well, maybe...

Dreams are tricky. They often come true. And only then do you realize they're not all they're cracked up to be. Anyone who has fallen out of love can attest to that. It's a shock when we get something we've wanted and discover what we've been dreaming about doesn't hold up in reality.

So... what to do? Make new dreams.

I honestly can't think of any other option. Without a dream you just pass through the days without really experiencing them.

I'm busy making new dreams, myself, lately. They're just taking shape now, but I'll keep you posted as they develop.
