Interesting trip to the bookstore

I love books, so you can often find me at a library or a bookstore.  Over my lunch hour I like to walk over to the local Barnes and Noble and look around.  Today, I walked through the aisles and spotted the book, "Rachel's Tears."  It is a book about Rachel Scott -- one of the kids killed in the Columbine massacre in April 1999.  As I flipped through the pages I saw some of her actual journal entries, some of her poems, and some art that she had done.  I was amazed by this young ladies heart and wisdom.  At such a young age she was able to leave a wonderful legacy.  As I read, I felt emotions welling up inside of me.  I thought about my life and the statement I would like to make with it.  I thought about my kids and how I pray that they will be safe.  Her faith and her actions motivated me to love more, care more, and act on what I believe (not just talk about it).
