Typically, we celebrate the mighty works of God in our lives, proclaiming all His goodness, mercy, faithfulness and unfailing love for us. At other times we are confronted with the undeniable fact that the reason Jesus had to enter the world was because it was broken. It is a place where depravity can overtake a human heart and there are real situations where justice seems unattainable.
In silence may we salute the lives lost at Virginia Tech and use our day to seek the Comforter, recommitting ourselves to being lights in the darkness. Although a single day of blog silence for a particular tragedy does not begin to address the constant grief we feel for those who are dying daily worldwide for various reasons, at least it captures our thinking for one day, for one grief, for one tragedy.
