Yesterday's shooting at Northern Illinois University is hitting close to home for us. We don't know any of the victims, but where we live in Aurora we're only about 25 minutes away from DeKalb, the home of NIU. We do know one couple who live just off campus--the husband is a grad student there, but he didn't know any of the victims well.
Somehow the proximity does make it strike a little harder though. Whenever something like this happens it is horrible and tragic. Please take a moment to pray for the students, staff, faculty, and parents of those at NIU. Pray that out of this horrible evil God will be able to fashion some good and that he will bring comfort to the hurting. If you want to read more I'm including a few links below.
