“Lord, when babies die at a church school, it is time for us to move beyond thoughts and prayers.”

Barry Black, the U.S. Senate chaplain, regarding the deadly school shooting in Nashville, Tenn., this week. Black implored lawmakers to take action as he opened the legislative session on Tuesday, but some lawmakers are opposed to legislation that would restrict gun control. The shooting in Nashville was the 130th mass shooting incident so far this year. (NPR — March 28, 2023)
