I found out about a Tragedy Today

Well they say blogging is like journaling and today I need to journal. So please forgive me if I ramble or things don’t make since. Today I got a call from my Dad with some really bad news. He told me someone in my home town of Oldhame County that there was a shooting. He wanted to tell me before I heard it on the news or something like that.

My first thoughts were was Mom and my family okay. WHich they are thank God. But then he told me a man shot someone for cheating on his wife and then shot his wife. Then he told me who the shooter was and I could not beleive it. It was a person who I knew in High School. I went to church youth and other activities with. I was also the best man in his wedding.

What is ironic is that I tracked him down a couple of years ago and our families got togehter. Things seemed so perfect. A beautiful family.

I am still in shock about this. What would have caused him to do this? It is not the person I once knew. I would have vouched for his character any day of the year. I could never have imagined this.

I have prayed and shed some tears over this. I am still is disbelief. I cannot even begin to explain this one. I pray for his wife and children. I hope she will make it and I hope the kids will somehow be able to process this out.

This world is not our friend. The ugliness, pain, and hurt…the Evil One won today through this tragedy. But thank God for Jesus Christ who is the ultimate victor even through such horror as this!

As I end this blog…I am still taking it all in. Do I go visit him? Do I contact the family? Do I check on the kids? I don’t know what I will do…but I pray!
