I am currently reading Acts and all of the craziness therein. I am thoroughly enjoying it. My journal has pages and pages of writings and drawings and the like in it. I may publish some of those writings, and probably none of the pictures.
I have nothing to say about the VT shooting except that everyone I know who goes to school there is fine. As I reflected on the events, I was reminded of the words of the pastor at my church hear in Raleigh. "When we ask ourselves, 'Why do bad things happen to good people?' we are starting off with a bad assumption, that God exists for our comfort. The truth of the matter is that it is only by the saving grace of God that we are not all dead already. What we should be asking is, 'Why, if God is perfectly holy and just, does He allow me to breathe another breath of my sinful life?' " I am not by any means trivializing the deaths of the students at VT as justice, not at all. I am only reflecting on the mercy of our God who reigns forever and is worthy of all our praise. Amen.
"Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord." ~1 Corinthians 15:58
