Wickedness Increases

10 shot dead at Santa Fe, Texas, high school; explosives found - UPI.com
UPI reports: "Ten people died Friday at a southeast Texas high school after a fellow student opened fire on the Houston-area campus, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said. At an afternoon news conference, the governor confirmed the deaths and 10 injuries at Sante Fe High School. He described it as 'the worst disaster ever to strike this community.' [...] Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said the dead included mostly students and at least one adult, including an officer."

Comment: I heard one of the talking-head commentators on the news mocking people who offer thoughts and prayers after violent attacks.  I think that is an example of both a symptom and the cause of these attacks. Perhaps if we had more people praying these things wouldn't happen? A society formerly based on Biblical principles has abandoned any pretense of teaching values, ethics and right conduct in schools so we can hardly be surprised when children take the tools available to act out the violence raging in their cold and empty hearts. So, yes, I'm praying for the families and friends of those lost, that they will be comforted and consoled in their time of grief by the promise of the resurrection.
