Pray for Virginia Tech

Our hearts and prayers go out to all involved and affected by the horrific tragedy at Virginia Tech. Words are never adequate in a time such as this.

I believe any person currently living on a college campus feels a special bond with everyone at Virginia Tech. At Temple, we understand that what transpired on Monday, could have happened anywhere, including our own campus.

Could this have been prevented? Could someone have stopped this killer before he snapped? There’s a strong possibility that many people had a chance to intervene in this person’s life, and as details continue to unfold it appears that some people tried.

Is there a strong possibility that YOU need to intervene in someone’s life? Is there a strong possibility that I need to intervene is someone’s life? I believe the answer is “Yes.” People are hurting. Some are hiding their hurt. Others are sending warning signals everyday. Are we listening? Are we watching?

Evil wants to swallow up and devour their hearts and minds, and we must get to them before it’s too late.

Pray for the families who lost loved ones at Virginia Tech.
