Praying for our soldiers, especially those stationed at Fort Hood near Austin, TX.  There has been a deadly, mass shooting.  7 reported dead, 20 wounded.  2 or 3 shooters with one in custody.  Story here.  First thing I did was call my parents to see if they had heard.  My dad is retired military.  Of course, as I dialed the phone my next thought was, "Surely, they didn't go to Fort Hood today."  They frequently travel the 45 minutes to the base to fill prescriptions and do their grocery shopping.  They were home and hadn't heard the news.  This is so terribly sad.  There are also several elementary schools and middle schools on base.  I pray for the children, although not in harms way, they are all the children of military personnel and have so much to deal with.  What a terrible tragedy!
