a moment's pause to reflect

My heartfelt condolences to the families of the 33 victims of the Virginia Tech massacre. This random, senseless act of violence which should never have taken place has snuffed out 33 lives. My thoughts prayers are with the families of the victims - from the young college freshman to the professor in his 70s.

May the Lord God watch over them in this tough time. My prayers are especially for the family of Seung-Hui Cho... as they must be reeling from the shock now, that one of their own flesh and blood has committed this atrocity... and that there will not be reprisals against them, nor the Asian American community at large.

God Bless America.
