This is the section of Strive4Impact.com, where you can read, every day, something I wrote since I was 13 years old (1993).  Some of it's adolescent angst, but some of it is quite good, and I hope you'll agree.  What are we up to now? Currently, my wife and I are traveling the world and blogging our experience.  We may have been somewhere you would like to go, or maybe we could come to meet you?  Either way, you may find our reviews and advice helpful.  Check it out at http://www.CarrieAndJonathan.com

It Has To Change: Chuck E Cheese Shootings

(regarding Chuck 'E' Cheese Shootings, where a young man went in and shot people at a Chuck'E'Cheese Restaurant. This was an event that had a profound effect on me.)
December 1993
(Jonathan is 13)

it's hit just too close to home this time. It has to change.

Are you going to wait for it to hit so close to home that you can't do anything about it? The time is now. Stop it so that it can't hurt you before it's too late. There are too many "accidents." We have to speak out. Not if you buy themselves, but one. One body of people United for all causes, but especially against violence of any type. It's intolerable. We have to unite as one.

If one person is inspired by reading this, and shares it with two of their friends, and they share it with two friends,... we have to unite and stop this. If not now, when? If not ever, why?
