Op-Ed: Standing at Leibby’s Funeral
Standing at the funeral last night my mind was flooded with thoughts. There was just too much to think about, what happened is incomprehensible and it defies logic. In the midst of thousands of people who came to respect the young boy there was a collective sorrow and our hearts were at a proverbial half mast. An innocent child was literally butchered. What a nightmare. There were sobs throughout the ceremony, many coming from people who did not know the boy as the tragedy shook our innermost being and our core. Life is so precious; we know that through being a parent and a sibling, and we know that as we see youngsters grow and celebrate life. There are so many joys throughout life. But then there was this. Our heart as human beings is hurting badly.

Don’t Mind Your Own Business
A Timely Lesson About Our Fragile World
The late Peter Marshall was an eloquent speaker and for several years served as the chaplain of the US Senate. He used to love to tell the story of the “Keeper of the Spring,” a quiet forest dweller who lived high above an Austrian village along the eastern slope of the Alps.
The old gentleman had been hired many years earlier by a young town councilman to clear away the debris from the pools of water up in the mountain crevices that fed the lovely spring flowing through their town. With faithful, silent regularity, he patrolled the hills, removed the leaves and branches, and wiped away the silt that would otherwise have choked and contaminated the fresh flow of water. The village soon became a popular attraction for vacationers. Graceful swans floated along the crystal clear spring, the mill wheels of various businesses located near the water turned day and night, farmlands were naturally irrigated, and the view from restaurants was picturesque beyond description.
