Today is Friday and that is a day I usually reserve for a bit of humor, but this week has ended in tragedy and humor isn't something I can do right now.
As an NIU alum myself, the tragedy of yesterday in DeKalb hits very close to home and I am saddened by the loss of so many young lives. I pray for all those students, faculty, and staff and their families as they progress through coming to terms with what has happened, mourning those who have been lost, and eventually trying to move forward again with their lives. I pray especially for the campus ministries there, that they will have the strength and resources to comfort all those who need it at this time with the peace that only Christ can bring them. May the Holy Spirit fill them with the right words and actions to comfort and council those that need it at this dark hour.
May God bless you and keep you all in his peace today, and in the days and weeks to ahead. You are all in our prayers and will continue to be.
