Today is a very sad day as tragedy struck an elementary school in Connecticut.  My heart goes out to the families in this town.  At this time, the report is that 20 young students and 6 adults have lost their lives.  It is a heart breaking event.  I am humbled by the story of one teacher, Kaitlin Roig, at Sandy Hook Elementary who continued to protect her students under the most stressful circumstance.  She rushed her students into a small bathroom, locked the door, and told them that she loved them.  She said that if they were to die, she wanted the children to know that they were loved.  When the police arrived, she refused to open the door to avoid a potential trickery by a gunman.  She told the police to get the keys themselves, the teacher and her students were eventually rescued to safety.
