A few thoughts on school shootings from a former teacher The Parkland, Florida, school shooting follows too quickly on the heels of other recent school shootings. As a teacher for many years you can imagine that I take school shootings close to heart.

I finished reviewing The Complete Love Comes Softly Collection late last night. Although I really enjoyed the full series, the movies got weaker as the series progressed. I have read that as the movie series progressed, it deviated more and more from the books. Whatever the case, the last movies aren't as good as the first, but are still better than other shows on TV Today. The series should appeal to fans of "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman," "Little House on the Prairie" and "Touched by An Angel ."

I was glancing through an older newspaper a few days ago and I came across an advice column where the question involved a woman who had her body surgically altered and took hormones in an attempt to become a man. The question concerned a family scrapbook, and whether it was OK to keep photos of the woman as a little girl. The advice completely revolved around the woman who had the surgery. What did "he" want? How would "he" feel? The rest of the family's concerns, what they wanted, and what they should tell their children were simply not important considerations. At the same time, provocative promotional materials have been flooding my TV and magazines at the checkout counter about Thomas Beattie, the former model who chose to mar the beauty with which God graced her, having her body surgically altered, taking hormones, so that she now looks like a man, well at least sort of. She became pregnant - she IS a woman on the inside, after all, but now Barbara Walters...
