Tragic

What is going on in the world? Moments ago, I heard the story that over twenty people on the Virginia Tech campus were killed by a gunman. Apparently he or she opened fire in a co-ed dorm and then in the engineering building. The news is quite tragic. The quiet of a college dorm and academic hall early on a Monday morning is interrupted by the sound of gunfire. The peace of a early spring morning turns to chaos. Terrible. Terrible. May our prayers rise before you like incense O God for those who suffer loss and those who are terrified.
