I remember as a kid the last people I wanted to talk with were my parents.<BR/><BR/>This whole VT situation reminds me that there is so much more we can do to reach out to people. I'm not sure Cho could've been stopped. Part of me wonders if it happened for a reason. To be honest there isn't much wondering about it. I believe this happened for a reason and it would be wise of us to think about it and reflect on it.<BR/><BR/>Theresa - I agree that the media is messed up. They work hard to create news rather than report it so they can make a ton of money from their advertisers. The media is a huge problem. And I understand your point about this kid being an example for other messed up kids. But I still believe that if we "blot" this situation out then we might miss some important lesson.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11059473.post-23982679803134708402007-04-19T22:25:00.000-05:002007-04-19T22:25:00.000-05:00I am on a different side of this emotionally right...I am on a different side of this emotionally right now, but totally agree and support what you've written. I know it's the attitude Jesus would have, but it's not mine right now.<BR/><BR/>I ABHOR the attention people who commit such horrors get. The media is all over them. True, he's dead, so what does he know, but I wonder how many other attention-starved social outcasts are thinking about how glorious it would be to get such attention.<BR/><BR/>My insides are screaming he should be forgotten as quickly as possible, blotted out. I hate the idea of thinking about what motivated him - I don't care! It doesn't justify what he did or restore the lives he destroyed. <BR/><BR/>Fortunately for all of us, though, God doesn't throw us away so easily. Our sin pains Him more than it even does us, and I know that we are forgiven to the measure we forgive others. I'm definitely a work in progress!Theresa Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02932616479001178766noreply@blogger.com
