VT Tragedy

Our thoughts and
prayers go out on behalf of the countless people
affected by this week's tragedy at Virginia Tech.
It's chilling to think that one person can cause so
much destruction and pain. It makes us long for the
joy of heaven and reminds us that this is not how
life was meant to be. We are a fallen race, and as
such, we all have to deal with the consequences of
that, no matter how good we think we are. What's
intriguing is that Jesus died to redeem that young
man who inflicted so much sorrow, just as much as He
died for the victims who were killed and wounded, and
just as much as He died for you and me. He loved that
young man, and He his hurt by this situation even
more than we are. One day, He'll return things to
their rightful state, and we'll be able to once again
live in peace and joy.
Lord, may that day come quickly.
