| One month before the Columbine Massacre, two statements were made in March of 1999. "We need to...kick start a revolution. We need to get a chain reaction going here!" --Eric Harris, Columbine Shooter "I have this theory that if one person can go out of their way to show compassion, then it will start a chain reaction of the same." --Rachel Scott, Columbine Victim Which will you choose to follow? Beloved Rachel Joy Scott--victim of Columbine High School--lived a live of kindness. She carried a cross for Christ that led others to be moved toward a chain reaction of love for one another. Her life consisted of incidents where Scott recognized those unseen, welcomed strangers, and spoke to the unspoken. Rachel Joy Scott struggled just as much as any one of us may struggle today. She was a typical teen through the hectic pressures, yet Rachel stands out because she achieved something no man ever dared until her death. Rachel loved. Rachel loved to death. Her killers were the ones she had loved. She had spoken with them about the love of Christ. Now her cross has been left for another to carry. Will you dare to carry her cross? Will you allow this precious mantle to gain dust? I pray you recognize one of God's greatest commandments to love your neighbor. You too can start a chain reaction. One of kindness and love! Lets remember Rachel as a legend for her strength to love the hated. Remember, and carry her mantle. Click Here to read an essay that Rachel wrote a few months before her death. This essay is on her code of ethics, or codes of life. �I want to lay a challenge before each and everyone of you young people here today. The torch has fallen from Rachel�s hand. Who will pick it up again? Who will pick up the torch again?� {home} All rights Reserved. Courtesy of Patrick Levis: Our brother in Christ, 2001-2003. |
