Even as the royal wedding overshadows all other news today, I wish to reach out in love and sympathy to all the folks in Santa Fe, Texas, who are still reeling after a grisly school shooting, which is becoming a depressingly common occurrence. According to Reuters,

A 17-year-old student dressed in a trench coat and armed with a shotgun and pistol opened fire at his high school outside Houston on Friday, killing nine students and a teacher, before surrendering to officers, authorities said.

May God’s arms of love be around all those affected and disturbed by this violent act.
