Ohio School Shooting

These comments in no way criticize the families involved since I do not know them,

                                                     but reflect my opinion in general on the condition of our society.

WKYC news in Ohio reports other school incidents just days after the Chardon shooting which took the lives of three boys and put the shooter in prison awaiting trial:

                In North Royalton, a 9th grader has been removed from the high school after a girl overheard the boy making threats and talking of possessing weapons…

               Tuesday, police in Bath were investigating inappropriate comments by a Revere middle school student, while a 17-year-old Crestwood High School student was arrested in Mantua for allegedly posing with an assault rifle and making threats in two Facebook postings….

               Also Tuesday, the Summit County Sheriff's Office says it arrested a 14-year-old at the L.E.A.P. Program in Green on aggravated menacing.

                        What’s happening to our kids, our schools, our families?

We’ve taken the Bible out of school and replaced it with textbooks void of family values and loaded with humanism. So our kids believe, “It’s all about me.”

Many of us have stopped going to church, teaching Bible principles and praying with our kids.

Instead we’ve hooked up to cable TV and cell phones. We’ve stopped listening to our children, and they’re listening to lies of cyber bullies. Minds have been filled with disrespect for authority and disregard for others.

Self inflicted cuttings and killings are becoming more common than kindness.

The only way to turn things around is to get back to an old Bible command: Love the Lord God and others as yourself.

And it’s time we as adults set the example. Let’s get back to reading, believing and teaching the Bible. Let’s find a place where we can worship God and show love to our family and community as well as the world. We need God today more than ever before.


And let’s pray for the families of Ohio’s shooting. It could have been you or me, our sons, grandchildren.
