SPECIAL EDITION: This is Gregg Kell on Monday November 6 with a breaking news event striking at the heart of our nation. We at Shaping the Future believe America’s at a tipping point.  What direction will we go? As citizens, we’re obliged to gently shape America’s future in a positive and peaceful direction. Will you contribute to this nationwide conversation and help shape our nation’s future?

26 People Killed

On Sunday November 5, a rifle bearing shooter committed a heinous act of violence in the sanctuary of the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs TX.

He killed 26 people including children and a pregnant mother of 3.  He also wounded another 20 worshipers.  TX Governor Greg Abbot called this the largest shooting in Texas history. Horrific!

A Biblical Perspective

Open the bible and read this verse:  Romans 8:28.  You may find solace there.

Future Shapers Unite

OK, Future Shapers, let’s engage in the national conversation, help our nation heal and shape America’s future in a loving and positive direction.

I have questions, do you?

* How should we react to this evil?

* How could a loving God allow his faithful to be gunned down in a house of worship.

* Why did this evil happen?

* How could a man’s heart grow so cold that he could kill so many innocent people?

* What does this incident say about the character of our nation?

* Who know and failed to stop this rampage?

* How should we as Americans respond?

* Here’s my last and biggest question:  What is America to you?

As business owners and entrepreneurs, we must be prepared for circumstances.  I recommend the very insightful blog post on Arkside Marketing.com entitled Statement after a Tragedy – Good and Bad by Amanda Johnson.

As citizens, may I ask this favor?  Please comment and add your voice to this national dialogue as we come to grips with this tragedy.
