We here at Calvary Bible College and Theological Seminary are touched and saddened by the events at Va. Tech. Chapel time and dorm devotions have been used to pray for the families of the victims. This has helped students to stop and realize how petty our lives become and how concerned we got over trivial things, when there are much more serious, life-threatening needs in the world and amongst those around us.
My heart goes out to the family of the victims but also to the family of Cho Seung-Hui. They are caring the grief of the students that were killed, the death of their own son as well as the anguish of the entire situation. People and ‘the public’ – in their anger about a crime and desire to vilify the person that commits that crime don’t stop to think what it is doing to that person’s family. Sometimes they are the ones needing the most support because they are the ones that are ignored at the very least, or shunned and condemned as “guilty by association.” I know from personal experience this is not always the case.
