Jesus said to his disciples: ‘Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house there are many dwelling-places. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, so that where I am, there you may be also.
It has been arough time for me since Easter. I have been sick for quite a few days and my energy level just hasn’t kept up with the number of things that I need to get done. One thing, I want to get back up to speed on is this blog. I went to Sacred Space and found this was the passage for today. Let me share a few thoughts on what it says to me. By the way if you have never been to Sacred Space, then I strongly encourage you to give it a visit. I think you’ll be glad that you did.
The words, “Do not let your hearts be troubled…” seem to be the ones that jump out at me this morning. In the back of my mind the events of April 16, 2007 at Virginia Tech still seem to be floating around. At the town candlelight service I took lots of pictures. I’ll be sharing some of them with this posting, if I can get them to upload. Between 300-400 gathered to remember the 32 that were killed. Just last night our town gathered for the National Day of Prayer service at the town hall. Prior to the service a slide show that I created from the photos I took was shown. I can’t help be feel the sadness at the lives that were cut short in this senseless tragedy. My mind is troubled. When, things like this happen, all of our minds can’t help but be troubled. I ask for your continued prayers for the people of Virginia Tech and the surrounding areas. There lives have been forever changed and we must not forget their loss.
