 What can anyone say? Our town has been devastated by this tragedy. The only thing I can say is give your kids extra hugs, you never know. I have seen a lot of ribbons around the internet but I wanted to let everyone know that the real ribbon looks like this, it is blue with a silver stripe down the middle for the official school colors of Columbine High School. For those of us who live in Littleton we are still numb, but we do appreciate everyone's thoughts and prayers.  Take this Ribbon and place it on your page in support of the kids who lost their lives or were injured in this senseless act of violence.

Our Calling
Long ago - far away The Star of Bethlehem Showed them the way Embracing all within its light For the Son of God was born that night His Gift of Love and Everlasting Life Known by many names - This Son of His Venturing forth and preaching throughout the land Gathering His disciples by the hand One Great Teacher with twelve students His message spreading far and wide Thunder clashed and lightning flashed With His Mother by His side - He was crucified Darkness and sorrow fell upon the ground Midst it all we rejoice - For His Sacrifice Forgave our sins and brings us eternal life This was His calling given from above Two millenniums have passed by Now the tragic day at Columbine High Oh My! What a shock how can this be? Darkness and sorrow falling upon the ground The Nation weeps with grieving hearts For innocent souls and families torn apart When it was over what was found Another calling from above Twelve students with one teacher Now disciples of His World Angels above us on high Their souls freed on the wings of doves Now shower us with His Love His message should be pure and clear As we live on with their memory Open our hearts - Believe in His Word Hand in hand let the truth stand A better World it will be - If only we all agree Together we can make a difference So when the time comes We will be ready for "Our Calling"
