Twenty-two years ago, two students, armed with shotguns, rifles and bombs, entered Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado, and murdered 12 students and one teacher before taking their own lives.
Craig Scott was there on April 20, 1999, as was his sister, Rachel Joy, who was the first student killed. Her story was told in the 2016 movie, “I’m Not Ashamed.”
Scott is scheduled to speak in Anchorage about his personal experience of witnessing the deaths of close friends and peers inside the school library, as well as the aftermath of that tragic day. His presentation will be Aug. 12, 6 p.m., at Changepoint Church.

I wonder if Columbine, Co is more Christian or less after the tragedy. We can’t love one another (very well) If we dont love God first because God is love and through loving Him we can not help not help loving our enemies like how we love our friends.
The hardest, but most freeing ‘action’ I took in my near 75 years? That forgiving my torturer, abuser was not for that demoniac.. but for Me! As Father God says we must do. Excellent book for women ” Healing the Soul of a Woman. Men can learn much there also.
