Tragedy in Scott County

I can't imagine the pain the families of those four Scott High cheerleaders are feeling today. One family lost two daughters in the late Friday night car accident.

It's devastated the community. It's devastated us all.

And let us not forget the travelers in the other car. A woman who was looking forward to a new grandchild is gone; and so is the unborn child.

Every parent, who ever handed over car keys to a child, understands that there but for the grace of God could be any of us.

We tell our kids to be careful drivers. They usually say something like, don't worry. We always worry.

Usually they come home, safe and sound. Occasionally, they're ok, but the car has bump. And while we may show a bit of anger over the fender bender, on the inside we're happy it's the car and not our child.

And then there are times like Friday night. There is nothing we can say to make it better. All we can do is pray for those families.
