Several years ago I had lunch with a young local business man and aspiring politician. He asked me, “What gets you up in the morning?” Meaning, what am I passionate about, what gets me excited?

“The resurrection of Jesus.”

Why do these things keep happening. Now it’s a Christian elementary school. Little 9 year-olds mercilessly gunned down!

Some point to the proliferation of guns. That argument can be made, though more households had guns in America when I was growing up than today, but there were no school shootings that I remember hearing about.
