P.S. We wholeheartedly apologize for any confusion created by the appearance of the wrong dates for this event appearing in the most recent (Spring 2007) issue of the Higher Things magazine. This was the fault of yours truly and not the fine HT magazine personnel.

 It's hard to put into words just what took place at Virginia Tech University on April 16, 2007. It is simply unexplainable, and yet it is somehow becoming all too familiar. We can not help but reflect and ponder such questions as: How could this happen? Why did this happen?
We are blessed to live in a truly free society in which we have incredible access to nearly anything and everything. Yet we feel trapped by the horror of what has taken place. Rest assurred that the greatest freedom that we have is one that can never be taken away by either tempest or gunmen, tornado or terrorist - and that is the freedom from sin, death, and the devil secured by our risen Savior Jesus Christ.
With heavy hearts, we put before you an online collection of Virginia Tech Articles and Resources.
We hope that these various texts will help provide comfort to those who are suffering or in despair as a result of the Virginia Tech shootings or by the cares that happen to all of us in this fallen world.

When aimless violence takes those we love,
When random death strikes childhood's promise down,
When wrenching loss becomes our daily bread,
We know, O God, you leave us not alone."
