I am completely speechless when I think about what happened at Virginia Tech. Words fail me! Thank God, he can hear my prayers that are never vocalized.
When I looked at today's date, I remembered another tragedy that occurred 12 years ago in Oklahoma City. It was another stark reminder that human beings are not getting better, contrary to what we might like to believe. Sin in its worst form still makes our jaws drop. However, ultimate hope in this world will not be found in gun control, security devices, or anything else. Ultimate deliverance and hope in this world is found only in Jesus Christ.
May God encourage the families of the victims of tragedies like Virginia Tech and OKC.

Curtis,
I just want to let you know what a blessing it always is to read your comments here and to hear how God is working in your life and showing you the things He wants you to see and then allowing you to share them with us through this medium.
You're a blessing!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
"Sin in its worst form still makes our jaws drop."
One can only infer from this statement, as taken quite from out of the context, that the author believes what happened at Virginia Tech exhibits sin in its 'worst' form.
It may be, of course, that the author of this post is declaring the murders to be the worst form of sin because the murderers destroyed other beings who were created in the image of God. It is possible, however, he thinks murder the supreme form of sin. And now that I think of it, it could be that the author is simply exaggerating to express his disgust at an act that should outrage every sane person.
But being a only simple plumber--and for this reason, therefore, quite dull--I am at a loss to determine exactly which sin is the worst, and am unable to, from the text, comprehend the nature of its precise form.

If you do some research, you'll find a number of other horrible happenings took place this week: Columbine and Waco in addition to Oklahoma City.
