What kind of breakpoint a daily look and an ever-changing culture if it lends of unchanging

truth for the Colson Center?

Last week a young woman walked into a Nashville church school where she had once been a student

and then she took six lives.

Three were students just nine years of age.

The victim's names are Mike Hill, Catherine Coons, Cynthia Peake, William Kenny, Evelyn

D. Couse, and Haley Scruggs.

For it not for the exemplary actions of the Metro Police Department, that list would

have likely been even longer.

The school shootings are now a horrifyingly common aspect of American life.

So far the police have refrained from releasing the manifesto prepared by this young woman

to explain her motives.

Until they do we cannot be certain what her goals might have been.

It seems likely enough, however, that the woman targeted this place in these people because

of their Christianity, corrupted by her own inner demons and perhaps the corrosive

effects of transgender ideology.
