thoughts and prayers
i can't imagine the heartache and sorrow. the images are so similar to others i have tried to comprehend before. different from columbine, or other sites of school or business massacres virginia tech is a place that i have some familiarity with. i would go through town a couple of times a year when i drove from new jersey to alabama for my own college years. i even spent an evening at the wesley foundation on a road trip. i loved the stone buildings and colors on campus. i didn't exactly care for how the football team beat the snot out of my tide in the first music city bowl. sad now, the first memory of virginia tech will not be that beat down or the road trips, but the loss of life and acts of violence that brought death.
i pray for families and friends of the victims, i also pray for the family and friends of the shooter. there is only brokenness with violence such as this
