We all saw the pictures of men who stood by and watched while 23 year old Iryna Zarutska was stabbed to death on a bus. We saw those photos and wondered how we’ve come to this place in history, a time when men have lost their protective instinct.

Today I watched videos of college students reacting to the news of Charlie Kirk’s assassination. They laughed. They cheered. “Girl, somebody had to do it,” one child who thinks she’s smart said to the interviewer.

When Chad and I unexpectedly entered the fostering world, I already knew some foster parents. In fact, several members of our church were foster families and seemed to be thriving in what I could have only assumed was a pretty tough job. But I never really inquired about it.
