Christ have mercy....
Lord have mercy....
for we know what we do and cannot help ourselves......
It is difficult to say anything new except...and this is critical...the abject shock at such a tragic loss of life that happened because a young man wanted it that way. What goes wrong with the ego that a fight with a librarian becomes a life and death matter that only a shot gun can resolve. And then takes his own life....a final solution to a temporary problem. For me alone perhaps, the issue is less about gun control and how we identify those young people who need help. The real control is putting guns under lock and key where they cannot be used by those in such emotional turmoil.
I suppose Jesus did what he has always done. He walked into the school and carried Karl home. We pray he blesses those who were critically injured. Comforts the parents. We learn again that God givens us freedom even to do what we know we are about to do.
