Today's thoughts for the day are in remembrance of our nation's tragedy seven years ago...
Moshe Dayan:
"If you want to make peace, you don't talk to your friends. You talk to your enemies."
and
John Lennon:
"Imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will live as one."
