Not to often do I post more than once a day but after watching this news breaking story I couldn’t help but post again today. 

There was another school shooting today (it was a college in Virginia) and to think that it’s just a couple days before the Columbine school shooting anniversary!  The death count was 31 and 29 injured.  This is the worst one yet!  I sat watching with tears streaming down my face, how will those students ever feel safe again?  How will they ever be able to go back to classes there?  How will they be able to sleep in their dorms?  And how will they deal with the deaths and injuries of their friends, boyfriends, girlfriends and classmates? 

I just don’t understand.  It’s so sad.  And then the shooter took his own life (well they aren’t for sure if he killed himself or if he was shot by someone else yet), another life lost.  There’s so many bad things happening in the world today, the Iraq situation and everything that stemmed from and so much more.  It’s kind of scary to think that I’m raising a child in this world.  It’s days like this that I question the days I dream of getting married and having another baby.  It’s days like this that make me want to never leave the comforts of my own ’safety’ but then I’m reminded of all the rapes, burgarlies and things that happen in the ’safety’ of people’s homes.  So the question is (as my sister said to me) is there anywhere safe anymore? 

The days of keeping your doors unlocked because you felt safe are over, the days of not being afraid to let a ’stranded’ motorist use your phone are over, the days of letting your guard down are over and there are a lot of people out there that don’t have a sense of safety anymore but I believe as a Christian that I have a sense of security and safety in my Lord. 

My heart goes out to the injured ones and especially to the families & friends of the ones that were murdered.  I’ll be keeping this situation lifted up in prayer that’s for sure!
