We go on in life thinking what we will do today and tomorrow. Yet, life is not a guarantee any day! This does not mean we do not plan our life. We should plan our life but also remember that life is short and we need to pray hard. We need to pray for our loved ones, our enemies, and for the Lord's Kingdom to come soon here on earth.

The deadly destruction of death takes precious lives at Virginia Tech University because of a deranged killer who went on a shooting rampage in a dormitory and classroom. More than 32 lives were lost, 28 injured, and four in critical condition.

When death hits and tragedy of the violent kind strikes and becomes a massacre, we are reminded what a sinful world we live in. We are reminded that hate exists and only love can overpower hate. We are reminded that Satan loves to steal, kill, and destroy.

He cannot do it himself so he uses pawns to do his dirty work. Our job should be to love everyone and bring them out of the clutches of Satan and his ways.

For when lives are turned to the power of Jesus Christ, there is hope, healing, and help. There is hope for this broken world, there is healing for this broken world, and there is help for this broken world.

We need to wear the Armor of God and use it to touch lives with the love of Christ. When lives all around us are touched with the love of Christ, there will not be violence. Violence and killings are self-centered and self-rooted as what happened tragically in Virginia Tech University and what continues to happen worldwide.

Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, meekness, goodness, and self-control are the fruit of the Holy Spirit.

Pride, envy, sloth, greed, gluttony, lust, and wrath are the seven deadly sins. They are deadly because the one who killed all those in VTech had some of the characteristics of these sins.You see killings usually are a result of pride, envy, greed, lust, and wrath.

Friend, you and I are not assured a daily life and unexpected tragedies like what happened at VTech campus remind us of that.

This song goes out to all who have lost a loved one! Today we remember all the students that were killed at Virginia Tech University and may we keep their loved ones in prayer and all those that have been wounded!

Each of the 32 students that died with the death toll rising probably had friends on facebook too whose lives are also affected now.

Each death no matter who and where sends a ripple effect and chilling effect of pain.

Let us not be part of the problem in this society but part of the solution. Let love rule across our school so we can stop the blood pool as the Holy Spirit becomes our tool.

Now as people think about death and its pain, where will you be when you die?

Friend, death is inevitable and it will come for it is no friend of anybody!
We just don't know when but it will come! Before it comes we have time to do good and time to give our lives to Jesus Christ so we can be with Him in eternity.

If you do not know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Personal Savior, will you come to Him as you are for He is never too far?

He loves you so much and there is no love as such! We leave this earth when we die but we will belong to a new earth of Heaven! No matter what you have done, where you have been, you are never out of His love.

Will you come and ask Jesus to be part of your life so He can deliver you from sin's strife.

You can be sure where you will go when you die when you have surrendered your life to Jesus Christ. He already paid the price to set you free as He died on the tree (cross).

Now is the time of Salvation and you are reading this for a reason. If you already know Jesus as your Lord and Personal Savior and have a personal relationship with Jesus, you can be confident of being with Him when death strikes!

Now you need to share this message with your friends who do not know Jesus as their Lord and Personal Savior!

If you do not know Jesus, you can come to know Him as your Lord and Personal Savior! You need not have all the answers but can come to Him as you are. In His timing, He will take care of the rest. You can pray this prayer and allow Jesus Christ to come and live in you when you mean it and believe it in your heart! He will change your life around and work in your life through the power of the Holy Spirit. I speak from experience!

Prayer:
Dear Jesus, I do not know everything I want to know about you. Instead, I have a lot of questions with no immediate answers. But, I hear that you love me no matter where I have been or what I have done so I come to you now with all my sin, all my excess baggage, and lay it at the foot of the cross. I ask you to please forgive me of all my sin and wash me in your precious cleansing blood as I repent of my sin and ask your help. Please Jesus help me by coming into my heart and making my heart your home. Please live in me Jesus and I will live for you and serve you the rest of the days of my life. Thank you Jesus for coming into my heart and making my heart your home. I acknowledge you as my Lord and Personal Savior! Please be my Lord and Personal Savior so I can have a personal relationship with you Jesus. Thank you so much Jesus. Thank you that you have heard my prayer and answered me. I trust my days on earth to you. Thank you for being there for me. In Your Name I Pray Jesus! Amen!

Friend, you are a believer in Christ and have new life in Christ. You may feel something or may not but you are under His wings now! May you experience the joy of the Lord and His love in your life. May your life bring hope, healing, and help to those that you come across! Amen!
