As I was running errandst this morning, I passed by an elementary school and
noticed that the flag had been lowered to half-mast in memory of the
students and
their families in Littleton, Colorado. What a wonderful gesture that simple
act is. But, I thought to myself, what can I do to show others that I too am
deeply affected by this tragedy. Turn on a light. Turn on my headlights.
Turn on my porch light. But how do I get this message to others? Use the
Internet. I*m sending this message to everyone on my email list and am
asking that you do the same. I am going to turn on my headlights on Friday
morning on my way to work, on Saturday as I run my errands and especially on
Sunday as I go to my place of worship. I'm also going to turn on my porch
lights on Friday, Saturday and Sunday night. I*m going to turn on my lights
for the families in Littleton to show them that I care about them, that I
feel the pain and hurt and heartache. I*m going to turn on my lights for
what is right about this country. I*m going to turn on my lights against the
darkness, the anger and the prejudice. I hope you will join me. One light is
not much but put them together and we can light up the world. Turn on your
lights * show that you stand for what is right about America. And as you
turn on your headlights and porch lights this weekend; turn on the light in
your heart and soul. Show the world that this is not what America is all
about. With your light shining bright, along with others, we can come
together (if only for a brief moment) and combat the evil that confronts us
all. Please pass this email on to everyone on your address list. Lets see if
we can get this message to everyone across this great country before Friday
morning and lets use the Internet for what it was intended - good.
