It is unfortunate that mass shootings have become more common than any of us could ever have imagined. It has a lot of us questioning and wondering many things, including Stan Rodda.ย Stan is the Campus Pastor at ourย Linton Hall Campus. He has a wonderful reflection on the events in Sutherland Springs.

“Another day. Another mass shooting.ย Here’s my reflection on what happened this past Sunday in Sutherland Springs, Texas at a small Baptist church.

When I first heard the news about the shooting, it was in a text message. I was already busy on a Sunday morning like most pastors. My initial reaction was not much of a reaction. I just read it as if it was another day in our world. Another day. Another mass shooting.ย It wasn’t until I was able to slow down and process what was happening that I really began to think more about it. Here’s where I’m landing.”
