What a sad day. My heart is breaking for all those affected by the shootings at Virginia Tech yesterday. My prayers are for those families who lost loved ones, for the survivors, for the other students and staff and their families, for the shooter's family. How tragic.
Our human minds cannot grasp the depth of pain/oppression/despair that must have driven the young man to this horrific end. Why he would choose to kill others for no apparent reason is beyond comprehension. As my husband noted, we cannot fathom with human understanding what is purely demonic. We are in a battle. There is an enemy who seeks to kill, rob, and destroy. What manner of fear has been let loose upon all college campuses? Upon all schools, and in all parents' hearts?
Jesus, bring light in this darkness. Bring comfort that only You can in the midst of such pain. May Your gospel burst forth upon this campus and indeed all our country even more explosively than this evil did. You shine, Jesus, all the brighter when the darkness is greater.
