Joyful Transformation

Played tennis last night until about 9:30. Played for around 3 hours this morning...Tired?? Yep! But it's a good tired. I am afraid I will have to curtail my tennis playing in the near future, but more on that later.

Today was the hearing for the 2nd boy accused in the murder case of Scotty. Three disturbing facts came to light.

1. This boy had just used meth-amphetamines before he went in to shoot Scotty. His motive was to get money to buy more drugs.
2. He met the second boy after shooting Scotty twice and then returned to the house and shot him again to make sure he was dead.
3. The non-shooter (supposedly) has a 1 year old child and another on the way.

People do not realize the harm that drugs can do. The reality of the seriousness of this drug, even in a small conservative town like ours is frightening. Knowing that this murder was premeditated for no other reason than money to buy drugs makes me believe that even the death penalty is not a good enough consequence! Does that make me a bad person?
