Closing Thoughts for Monday, April 16, 2007
Today has been a horrific day. It has seen the unbelievable tragic loss of so many young lives; it is surreal. Never did I imagine when I woke up today that we would have been talking - as a nation - of the deaths of so many promising young people at Virginia Technical University. And if I feel this way - a complete stranger - just imagine how the families of all of those lost must be feeling.
My heart goes out to each and every one.
As I venture off to bed, I just want to offer this prayer to those families out there:
God, we know you are a loving God, a caring God, I just lift up the families of the victims of the Virginia Tech University shooting, give them the strength to get through this difficult time - this time of grieving, of loss. Be with them through the next days and weeks. May they see You in the midst of this tempest; may they rely on You to go on. In Jesus’ precious name I pray, Amen.
