Well, please forgive me if i ramble in this post. But I need to tell someone what has happened today, as it is a weight pulling me down. My father is almost retired, 2 more years to go. He teaches high school here in Green Bay, WI. He is a kind and generous man. And tonite he is lucky to be alive.
This morning, a student tipped off the principal at my dad's school that a couple of 17-year-old students were planning some kind of attack on the school. As soon as the students in question arrived for classes, they were taken into custody by the police. When the police searched their respective houses, they found home made bombs, shotguns, assault rifles, helmets, camoflage gear and combat boots. The police chief said that had they carried out their plan, it would have most likely been worse than Columbine.
Police interviewed friends of the two suspects, who said that they knew something was coming. The two were within days of carrying out their plan. They had their suicide notes already written.
So as the horror of what might have been slowly sinks in, I am going to try and figure out just what lesson God is trying to teach me here. Thoughts and prayers would be appreciated. Thanks guys.
