Like a lot of people, I sat in horror all day glued to the television. As the numbers went from 1 killed to "at least 20" to 32, I just felt this tremendous loss for the VaTech community.
It’s amazing to me how much my Christian tendencies want to "find the good’ of the events of yesterday. I think those silver linings may come as the days and weeks go by, but for now… I’m just in shock and horrified by the realities of it all.
Not much else I can say other than I hope folks are praying for the community, staff, employees, students, parents, and friends of Virginia Tech.
Here’s nice list of resources from Gospel Communications.

Brian Eberly added these words on Apr 17 07 at 11:42 pmPray also for the parents of the shooter. Much is said and prayed for the parents of the victims. That is good. All too often anyone associated with the shooter in a case like this is villanized. Who do they turn to in their time of grief, anger, confusion, and loss? Pray that they would find compassion and love as well.
Barb added these words on Apr 18 07 at 10:09 amI have been praying for comfort where comfort is needed, and healing where healing is needed and peace for the students, faculty, community, & families. I’m praying that they will look to God for strength for each new day to come. I’m also praying for the law enforcement officials working this tragic event. I know that their job cannot be easy. I would also encourage people to pray for the shooters family, how awful it must be for them. I pray that this tragedy will bring people to Christ. No matter how many times something like this happens, it shakes me to the core. It’s hard to understand why something like this happens but, I also know that God can use any tragic situation and turn it into Glory for Him.
