I haven’t posted anything on the tragedy at Virginia Tech because I didn’t have anything to add to the huge conversation. I have been praying for all those suffering, as so many have been.

I just read MSN’s tribute to those who have fallen in this senseless act. So much focus will go on the perpetrator – how this happened, what could’ve helped, who’s to blame. I know that is human nature and that some of it can be the process of healing. But please don’t forget about those who had to suffer and die in such a senseless way.

I encourage all of you to go read about these lives that we will never get to know in any other way. They were God’s beloved, and they deserve dignity in this time.
