The Columbine shooting was a terrible thing that happened to the 12 students, one teacher, and two gunmen. I will never forget watching the news on April 20th, 1999, and wondering why God would let such a thing happen. That day I cried so hard I couldn't sleep. I saw tapes of security footage from the library and cafeteria and was horrified by the things shown. But I had to remember that God made things happen for reasons, even the ones we can't even try to understand. I'm just glad there are people out there talented enough to make music that grasps onto the feeling that we all feel when we see things like this happen. Thank God we have those people, because I don't know if any of us would get on better without songs like these to comfort us through the hard times. To the 12 who died that day, I told you we'd make it to the sunshine some day, you just got there a little quicker. The good die young. To the one teacher, may God bless you and your suffering students. To Eric and Dylan, I'm sorry you couldn't open your eyes and see how much Christ loved you. And to all of those who felt the same pain and suffering I felt, remember that God is with us forever.
