Sorrow

This week we've seen America deep in sorrow & grief over the horrific events which occurred in Blacksburg, Va. Monday, April 16th, on the campus of Va. Tech.
Getting a grip on how tragic this has been to so many family, friends, and loved ones is a difficult thing. We try to put ourselves in their shoes, but all we can do is feel like we've been socked in the stomach & can't catch our breath. Our faith in our fellow Americans is shaken. And how do we help or reach out to those people who are struggling with mental illness or feeling betrayed by society?
I admire many of the students who acted so unselfishly and heroically as they put their lives on the line to save others.
If we look & listen, we usually catch glimpses of mercy & grace in the worst of circumstances.
