Sara, what a tragic loss of life My heart goes out to your friend and her family. I can only imagine the grief they are experiencing. Please tell them that many of us are thinking of them and holding them in our prayers.

I was just reading about a court trial going on in Michigan. Some kids partying (well, adults at 23!) thought it would be fun to "scare" the horses boarding behind this young man's house at the Gross Point Hunt Club. They threw a roman candle at the barn "for fun." It immediately went up in flames. They didn't even call 911. Instead, all the partyers went to sleep. 19 of the 25 horses perished. He is facing 15 years in prison.
