so today a masacre happened. it grabbed my attention very quickly as a friend (and boyfriend of my sister) attends the school that it happened at. i was quick to worry and make phone calls. after talking to my mom, she said she'd heard from my sister (that was there, but off campus) who had heard from her boyfriend (on campus in the building next to the norris building) and that he was ok, but on lockdown for the time being. i was quickly releived to hear that they were both ok, however i started to feel guilty as i saw the numbers of the dead continue to rise. that could've been my friend or my sister... and those victims were someone's friends/relatives. i guess i just don't understand how one person can hold so much anger and resentment to kill off 20+ people for no apparent reason. i pray for those families and friends of the victims and the students and the staff to cope with this tragedy and know that they are very much thought of. i can only hope that i don't live to see another masacre like this. i remember columbine... i will remember this. may God have mercy on that man's soul and be with those that have lost loved ones. may He help us understand that there must be evil in order for there to be good, but it doesn't make it alright for that man to have done this. may He help us to understand that there was a reason for this... although not apparent now.
That is my prayer and thought for the day. God bless and be safe.
