Praying for Virginia Tech

The governor of Virginia has called for a day of mourning:

"Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine declared the statewide day of mourning, and the university's alumni have also organized a "Hokie Hope" day. Kaine has invited
communities across the nation to organize their own ceremonies Friday to remember those killed in the nation's worst shooting spree."

In addition, bells will ring and a moment of silence will take place at noon.

Here at the farm we will ring our farm bell 32 times and pray for the victims, their family and friends as well as the students and faculty of Virginia Tech.

This week also represents the tragedies at Waco, Texas, the Oklahoma City bombing and today is also the anniversary of the Columbine tragedy. Many prayers need to be lifted up at noon.
