Along with millions of others I was saddened to learn of the terrible massacre at Virginia Tech today.
My cousin, Dr. Jeanne Baril Howard Roper (I believe professionally she is known as Dr. Howard - not to be confused with a certain 3 Stooges episode) taught at Virginia Tech for a number of years, as did her husband. They are retired and live in that community of Blacksburg, VA.
My sister called me today asking if Jeanne still taught there and I reminded her that Jeanne is retired.
That theory of "6 Degrees of Separation" is really true, as is the annoying Disney song, "It's a small world after all". Had Jeanne still been teaching there, pershaps she would have been a shooting victim.
As morbid as this sounds, we all need to be ready to step into the presence of the Lord at ANY time... you never know what will happen!

What a tragedy... a sad sad day. My heart breaks thinking about the families of the victims.
I don't know how lives without the Lord in these precarious times ... Knowing that He is in control of all situations, one can live peacefully ...
