Scared, and Grateful

Today Kathy's reflection object encouraged us to do something scary every day. Well, just listening to the news this morning was scary, what with Gaza violence --- a "crescendo of vituperation," I think ---, and the assault, assault, assault on the recently-divorced mother of 3 boys...makes me grateful for not being scared, like the Israelis, Palestinians, and all those under assault whose stories, but for NPR, would remain secret.
