Real Questions: School Shootings


It’s on the news. Adults are talking about it on blogs, in forums, on the telephone with a friend. What can you do? How do you avoid lunatics walking in with a gun and harming students?

All the usual arguments fell flat in this past week’s shooting. The Amish don’t have TV, video games. . . violent movies. The man who shot the girls wasn’t Amish. He wasn’t an angry, bullied teen. He was a milk man.

May I turn the mike over to you? What do you think needs to happen to make your schools safe? Is this an issue? Do you think about it?

I’ve erased a paragraph several times — trying to reason it all out, but I think we need God more than ever. He needs to be the center of our lives. He can’t be pushed down into a small box where we let him out in crises and shove him down at other times. We need him every single day. We need  him as a country.

    I think you hit it right on the head when you said: God. Our country needs God more than ever before, I believe that with all my heart.

    you must know that in a sex crazed
    world. and a pure lunatic society
    the only answer is God!

    I wish also that more people
    would speak up?

    right now it’s a lot to speak up
    and be heard about.

    nobody is crying out for change!
