On a cold Sunday morning in December, 2007, Matthew Murray arrived at New Life Church - not to attend services, but to carry out a dark and sinister plan. Murray opened fire in the church parking lot, taking the lives of Stephanie and Rachel Works, 2 teenage sisters, before ending his own with a self-inflicted gun wound. The parents of the victims, David and Marie Works, with Dr. Ronald and Mrs. Loretta Murray, the parents of the shooter come together in a compelling program as they discuss the tragedy and extend to one another a heartfelt expression of God's grace, love and forgiveness.
"[We have been] praying for the day we would be able to meet with the Works family and express our deep sorrow over what happened, and the great loss of their daughters at the hands of my son. And they [have been] gracious enough to extend their hand of friendship, love and forgiveness to our family." - Dr. Ronald Murray

THAT is Christian love and forgiveness! I pray that the Lord will continue to bless them all and protect them from further heartache.
As an aside, we note again that the young assailant was on drugs for ADD or ADHD as have almost all previous attackers. It has not yet been established that there is a causal relationship, but it certainly warrants further investigation and a cautious approach by clinicians considering using such drugs.
These are very powerful programs. I am thankful that Focus on the Family is sharing the hope and miracles side of this tragic story.
Full story of the Colorado shootings (with videos, etc)
