There is No Joy in Texas
The little town of West, Texas, has been leveled to the ground. What was is no more.
We can take small comfort that the explosion was after school was out or the toll could have been much, much worse.
I cannot and will not speculate on the cause of this horror that came without warning to so many people going about their lives expecting to be here today.
I am, however, lifted by the spirit of the American people, who run toward blazing hellholes and flying shrapnel to rescue people they don’t even know. We are good people.
