Sad day

I'm really shaken up by this Virginia Tech shooting in Blacksburg - Scott would have been there a couple of years ago (not in that particular building, but on the campus), and my heart is just in my stomach. Seeing those familiar buildings on Fox News is really disturbing - those kids just got up this morning and went to class, like I have done on so many mornings, and now they're dead. So sad.

When I heard about it, I went straight to Scott's lab and hugged him - I see no reason to go to a high-caliber university; a competitive, presigious residency; a big city - I'm happy here in my relatively safe, small town, where I can do a lot of good as a physician, and where Scott and I can do a lot of work for the Lord as a couple.

My heart goes out to the families and the community of Blacksburg, Virginia and Christiansburg. Love and prayers to you. And nothing but thankfulness and praise for my Lord, who has kept my family and loved ones safe in such a dangerous, evil world.
