walking through the valley

Every year, I always talk about how I am wary of the month of April. This year is no less different.

Last Friday morning, I struggled to finish a last bit of homework before class. My train of thought was interrupted by the Chapel bells ringing. 9:39am and I heard one low pitch ring after another.

3 years ago that day was the whole VA Tech incident. Looking back at the whole situation made me ponder once again how we deal with tragedy and how we treat other people.

Can we prevent further incidents? How can we treat people so heartlessly? Why are we so selfish? Why are we so blind to the suffering of others?

More and more must we rely on Him, emulate Him, walk with Him. It is only He that can really comfort us in the midst of trouble.
