Praying for Virginia Tech
Please join me in praying for all the families touched by the tragedy that has struck Virginia Tech today. The coming days will be filled with the gruesome details of this mass murder. Let's ask God to keep us from growing numb to human suffering. Every article, every photo, every TV news clip that we see can be a reminder for us to intercede in prayer. Let's ask God to comfort the suffering and draw to Himself those who are searching for answers. Let's pray that Christians in the community there will represent the heart of the Savior to all around them.
UPDATE: One helpful resource for processing this tragedy is John Piper's 21 Ways to Minister to Those who are Suffering.

Bad Guy Caught With a Mac: This is a great story. A girl's Apple laptop gets stolen but she uses a remote access program to control it and takes a picture of the thief as the doofus sits in front of the stolen computer. "Smile! You're getting your mug shot taken!" Using the picture, the police nab the bad guy. Moral of the story? Don't mess with a high-tech girl's Mac.

Josh,
Yes! That we not grow "numb to human suffering." I think this is the critical issue for us as believers, to feel the weight of the suffering, to deeply identify with those in unimaginable pain. I desire to lead my congregation in this kind of emphathetic prayer. Thank you for the encouragement to do just that.
