I believe in Yesterday

I also believe in the power of the tornado. How can one not after our most recent deadly destroyer in Moore, OK? I'm sure you, also, were brought to tears by the actions of so many of that city's Good Samaritans. We are surrounded by good people...like the Christen family of Fort Collins, CO, for whom yesterday - literally, as in May 22, 2008 - summons emotions that defy description. Click on the 3:33 link below to hear more of their inspiring story that appeared in my column in the May 23, 2013 "Coloradoan" newspaper:





To all whose lives have been changed by shocking, out-of-nowhere events, including the Windsor, Colorado tornado: may you never, ever again have to experience such severe loss. Should something unimaginable happen to you again, I pray, instead of being horribly so, it is beautifully so.

Know what else I believe in? The same thing Rachel Christen and her people do: the power of love.

Thanks for your time.
