It happened again on Monday. America took another arrow to the heart with the rampage of killing on the Virginia Tech campus. When tragedy occurs, it seems the media over reports resulting in an oppressive blanket of bad news.
Why does this evil again strike our young? Why are they targets? Why? Why? Why?
Why 32 dead students and staff? How did the killer sink to such darkness?
Today’s news brought a report of triumph over darkness. Professor Liviu Librescu is hailed as a hero for saving the lives of his students. While the gunman pushed at the door, the professor held it shut and shouted at his students to escape through the window. They escaped. He died.
Professor Librescu survived the Holocaust as a child. Later he survived the oppressive Communist regime in Romania. He emigrated to Israel and then the US.
The article states Monday was Holocaust Remembrance Day in Israel. In spite of evil in the world, good and God will triumph. Always. Take heart. That is what I am remembering

What "an" eloquent entry. Pardon my error.
