"Friendly reminder..."

20 November 2019: Though I am very grateful that Shepherd is taking such initiatives, an email with “a friendly reminder about the active shooter training” taking place today sure is a depressing reminder of our dark reality. The “friendly” is so quietly devastating. Again: no slight/shade toward the organizers. They are doing their very best in our broken world and I am so appreciative. (And let's not debate this--there's nothing to debate about what I saying here.)
