This is one of my favorite songs and it speaks to the same thing that you do Sue:

Not Too Far From Here

Somebody's down to their last dime
Somebody's running out of time
Not too far from here
Somebody's got nowhere else to go
Somebody needs a little hope
Not too far from here
And I may not know their name
But I'm praying just the same
That You'll use me, Lord
To wipe away the tears
'Cause somebody's crying

Not too far from here
Somebody's troubled and confused
Somebody's got nothing left to lose
Not too far from here
Somebody's forgotten how to trust
And somebody's dying for love
Not too far from here

It may be a stranger's face
But I'm praying for Your grace
To move in me
And take away the fear
'Cause somebody's hurting
Not too far from here
Help me, Lord
Not to turn away from pain
Help me not to rest
While those around me weep
Give me Your strength and compassion
When somebody finds
The road of life too steep

Not too far from here
Somebody's troubled and confused
Somebody's got nothing left to lose
Not too far from here
Somebody's forgotten how to trust
And somebody's dying for love
Not too far from here

Now I'm letting down my guard
And I'm opening my heart
Help me speak Your love
To ev'ry needful ear
Someone is waiting
Not too far from here
Someone is waiting
Not too far from here

A very wise answer Jason.

Yeah well, you know me, just another dumb blonde!

Anybody who touched one of my kids would end up dead, never mind blind!

Oh yeah, thats human instinct!!  and i agree, i would kill for my daughter!! and i'm not excusing any of these scumbags that do these things!! please don't think i am!!

just saying we have to be careful who we shoot, and think before we do it!

Not a dumb blond at all Barbara, but as Jason said, the parent instinct would rise, but then you would become as the perpetrator, a person unable to control yourself, and then you have stooped as low as he.
