Always Remember Virginia Tech

vtech ribbonMy heart goes out to the students, faculty and families at Virginia Tech. As a parent, you want the best for your child, so you make the necessary sacrifices to get them a quality education. Only to have someone in a senseless act of violence, take their life. It’s situations like this that make you realize how important it is to make the most of every minute given to you. I don’t know what I would do if faced with the harsh reality of losing a loved one in that manner.

We all know each day is not promised. When I wake up each morning, I thank God for a new day. I wake up ready for the challenges and opportunities that life is ready to throw my way. I prepare myself to make the best of every situation. I look forward to getting the chance to make a difference in someone’s life. Each second is precious and I try not to waste the time I’m given.

Continue to pray for the state of Virginia. They’ve faced a lot over the past couple of weeks. There’s so much going on in the world. Always remember, it doesn’t take a lot to make an impact in society. Take time for others. Show someone how much you care about them. Just a small a amount of your time might change a person’s life.

As a show of support, many students have replaced their MySpace and Facebook photo icons with the ribbon above.

    3. As more information becomes available, the more apparent it becomes that this young man was seriously, SERIOUSLY troubled. No reasonably sane person can coldy stare innocent people in the eye and take lives over and over with two handguns. God bless Viginia Tech

    4. This guy left his hate-filled manifesto for the world to see and hear but in his arrogance he failed to realize the eternal consequences of his actions. For that, I feel sorry.

    God bless the Virginia Tech family.
