The horrible, senseless massacre at VT yesterday will result in liberal Congress-people, and Senators calling for "stricter" gun control measures.  As if the entire episode could have been avoided if 2nd amendment rights were further eroded.
   I submit that the problem is not with guns and their control.  The problem, according to our Creator is in the desperately wicked human heart.  Jesus Christ said "For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders . . ." (Matthew 15:19)
   How could this tragedy been prevented?  I do not know, and perhaps as one criminologist said last night on TV, it could not have been prevented.  I mean really, how could anyone that a guy was going to completely flip out and go kill everyone he saw?  How does the nation of Israel know when a suicide bomber is going to enter a bus filled with innocents and blow them up?  How do our soldiers know when they cruise the streets of Iraq who will set off an IED?  How do you and I know when we go to the mall that someone will not have flipped out and do similar?  (BTW, it happened recently here at our mall.)
   However, with all of that said, many will seek to BLAME someone for this massacre.  Already there are those calling for the immediate firing (and would imagine the prosecution) of the president of VT and the police chief.  Others will blame the "soft" gun laws in Virginia.  Others will seek to blame President Bush (why not, he gets blamed for everything else).  Everyone will be blamed, except, ironically the young Asian man who actually perpetrated the horror.  Many will seek to blame "society."  This makes me gag!
   We live in a sin-stricken, cursed world.  People will continue to mock God, mock His gift of salvation in Christ, refusing to repent of wickedness, and blaspheming the Holy Spirit.  And things like this will continue.
   I call on my fellow Christians to rise up and SHINE as lights -- we are indeed in darkness.
