Oakland, OJ, and Ono

Three items have caught my attention today. 

The first, is the horrible shooting at Oikos Christian school in Oakland. A reality where school shootings are a normal part of life is very troubling. How horrific to envision those poor students and teachers having to undergo such a living nightmare. I pray God brings great healing to that little community and especially to those who have lost loved ones or were injured in the attack. 

The second item of intrigue is the new book coming out claiming OJ Simpson's innocence. It aims to prove the killer to be Jason Simpson, the son of OJ and Nicole. Before you start laughing keep in mind that Dan Rather is promoting this book. OK, now you can laugh. 

The third item is not so tragic. (Well, I guess it might become a tragedy. We'll see). Apparently, John, Paul, George and Ringo have four sons who are willing to form a band. A sort of "Beatles 2" thing. I wonder if they'll have a Yoko Ono problem. Genetically speaking, this might be worthy of a listen. But, I'm pretty sure it will be awkward. If genetics are the key, Kobe Bryant's father played 8 years in the NBA. But, then again, Luke Walton, another NBA player, is the son of NBA great Bill Walton. So, I guess it just depends.
