The Tragedy at Virginia Tech

I join anyone with any shred of humanity in passing along deepest condolences and prayers for the faculty, staff, students and family of those senselessly murdered on the morning of April 16th.
As far as commentary on the tragedy it seems there is little more that can be said. News organizations, psychologists and other experts will dissect the life of the shooter for weeks and months to come in hope of understanding why someone would do such a thing.
On his blog "Consumed", Owen Strachan discusses the responsibility of Christians to reach out to the hurting, the lonely and the ignored who could become the next Cho Seung-Hui, Dylan Klebold, Eric Harris or Michael Carneal.

Fellow believers, remember the story of Cho Seung-Hui. Remember him. In one sense, you will never see him. He is dead. But in another sense, you will surely see him. He will have a different face, a different look, and a different mask, but his distress is in most everyone around you. You will not see it, but it will be there. Reach out, brothers and sisters. Speak out. Share the gospel. Proclaim the truth. Minister to the sick. Love the unloved.

Banish the storm.
