A Few Thoughts on the VT Tragedy

I felt the last few days as though I ought to blog about the tragedy that occurred at Virginia Tech several days ago. But in a media saturated world I don't just want to add more noise to the din already occurring. Yet, not to say anything doesn't seem right either, so I will make a few brief comments.

We need to pray for everyone involved, those who lost loved ones, those who lost friends, the Virginia Tech community, and for the family of the shooter. It is another reminder of just how vulnerable we all are, and that the feeling that we are the masters of our own fate and the captain of our own ship is an illusion. We are far more vulnerable that we like to admit. As a church we need to do some serious evaluating of our own ministries and missions. What message through our lives and our speech do we bring to the world? Are we part of the problem or part of the solution? What message do we bring about evil, suffering, security, and hope?

I wonder what you are thinking about this tragedy or how it impacts you?
