Two years ago today a tragic event took place on the campus that we love. Riley Howell and Reed Parlier were both killed by an active shooter, and four other students were injured. Today we mourn. We mourn the loss of life. We mourn with the families who continue to feel the pain of losing Riley and Reed. We mourn the brokenness of this world.
We must mourn, knowing that Jesus also mourns the pain and suffering that we face in this world, but we mourn as those who have hope. Jesus is the resurrection and the life, and because of what he has done on the cross, we mourn as those who know that there is hope beyond death.
Remember Riley and Reed. Mourn their loss and the pain caused by this evil. Pray for their friends and families. Look to Jesus.
