Virginia Tech

Virgina Tech - We love you and send our condolences.

I found it timely to read the following scripture from Luke 6:27, 28 (which was the "daily Bible verse" on my computer welcome screen) the day of the tragic shootings at Virginia Tech.

New International Version: "But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you."

King James Version: "But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you."

May the peace that passes all understanding be with you.

  3. As you said, What a timely scripture reading. May we all remember to pray for the families of those who died, but also for friends and for the family of the man who did this awful act. May we put "feet" to this scripture.

    God Bless!
