The phone beeps
A message flashes
“At least 17 Dead”
That feeling in your gut
It isn’t going to go away
It happened in a different state
In a different school
But still
It hurts.
Regardless of gun laws
Or anti-bullying campaigns
Evil Exists
And all we can do is
PRAY
and Prepare
and Comfort the Survivors
I don’t know about you guys, but I’m so tired of hearing of the ever-increasing school shootings. They break my heart. And I don’t want to have another debate on who’s fault it is and whether or not gun laws work and how bullying is a problem because these arguments only breed more hatred and hurt. So, please, don’t use this post to argue with one another. Instead, please just remember to love one another, to show kindness however you can, and acknowledge that every day is a gift.
I believe in God, and while He allows evil to exist, He does not cause it. You can read here how God responds to evil.

💛 Susan and I worry about this. Our son and his wife graduate from Lewis & Clark State College in Idaho this June and will be teachers. There are just no safe places in our world anymore. 😢

I too understand your worry. As a teacher myself, these stories hit me hard, but giving in to fear only let’s evil win. So I’ll continue to teach, to watch out for my kids in any way that I can.

Too difficult to swallow…The high schools and colleges of the nation are targeted violently. God is sovereign and prayer is the one and only answer and weapon to defeat this wave of hatred. Students are vulnerable…they need the Gospel

Well, I think it will go away if faith and measures are taken. The Church of Christ is the only solution to this threat.

God’s Love is the only solution but even then it cannot take away evil. Only when Jesus returns and banishes the Devil to Hell will evil cease to exist.
