a wise man can form his own conclusions

i watched the history channel tonight, which was my reward for laboring over a clean bathroom. my interest was peaked when i found that the history channel could step in just ten days after such a tragedy and bring to light a very informative and unbiased analysis of what occurred in blackburg on monday, april 16, 2007.

tonight i learned much more of the killer and the students who are left to make sense out of such a devastating event. correct me if i'm wrong here chad (the only friend i have who carries a history degree), but i believe history to be rewarding because it's not to be dissected for its politics, but rather only for its facts. and that's what the history channel gave me tonight: facts. a breath of fresh air, they didn't try to make sense out of all of it, but only the situation at hand.

what we all should know is that everyone feels something for that campus right now, whether they know it or not. we can busy ourselves and desensitize ourselves and see it just as another headline, but when we slow down to think things through, we begin to feel for those involved. just because we are busy doesn't mean we shouldn't slow down to grieve for the loss of 31 lives and pray for those in blacksburg to be renewed with God's hope.
