I've often told him that while I know there are risks in every endeavor, I cannot live my life in their shadow. Which isn't to say I don't acknowledge real dangers and the possibility for harm, but that I refuse to let that motivate my every action, every day, in every circumstance. There are times to be afraid, but more often we are called to be brave and to shine our light against the darkness.
