SBTS Bloggers: VT tragedy

What a week. I'm featuring 17 posts with the sincere promise that I will be more discerning next week. But as I reviewed my "Well Said . . ." file I realized this was a special week.

The blogosphere exploded with stories and comments about the Virginia Tech shootings. We're still seeing and feeling the magnitude of this event. I am so pleased that the God-centered bloggers were prepared to give an answer for their hope. I tracked 31 posts dealing with VT. You can browse them with my google reader if you like. Here are the highlights:

When I got home from class tonight I began to hear about the shootings at Virginian Tech. I want to call all of our readers to spend significant time praying about this tragedy. The news media has labeled it the Massacre at Virginia Tech.

Take a break now and pray for everyone affected by this tragedy.

Below I've compiled what some Said At Southern bloggers have been saying. Don't miss Dr. Mohler's response on his Monday radio program. I thank God for giving Dr. Mohler the discernment to speak biblically and compassionately in times like this.
