Guess our national leaders didn't expect this, hmm?
On Thursday, Darrell Scott, the father of Rachel Scott, a victim
of the Columbine
High School shootings in
Littleton ,
Colorado , was invited to
address the House Judiciary Committee's subcommittee. What he
said to our national leaders during this special session of
Congress was painfully truthful.
They were not prepared for what he was to say, nor was it
received well. It needs to be heard by every parent, every
teacher, every politician, every sociologist, every psychologist,
and every so-called expert! These courageous words spoken by
Darrell Scott are powerful, penetrating, and deeply personal.
There is no doubt that God sent this man as a voice crying in the
wilderness. The following is a portion of the transcript:
"Since the dawn of creation there
has been both good & evil in the hearts of men and women. We all
contain the seeds of kindness or the seeds of violence. The death
of my wonderful daughter, Rachel Joy Scott, and the deaths of
that heroic teacher, and the other eleven children who died must
not be in vain. Their blood cries out for answers.
"The first recorded act of violence was when Cain slew his
brother Abel out in the field. The villain was not the club he
used.. Neither was it the NCA, the National Club Association. The
true killer was Cain, and the reason for the murder could only be
found in Cain's heart.
"In the days that followed the Columbine tragedy, I was
amazed at how quickly fingers began to be pointed at groups such
as the NRA. I am not a member of the NRA. I am not a hunter. I do
not even own a gun. I am not here to represent or defend the NRA
- because I don't believe that they are responsible for my
daughter's death. Therefore I do not believe that they need to be
defended. If I believed they had anything to do with Rachel's
murder I would be their strongest opponent.
I am here today to declare that Columbine was not just a tragedy
-- it was a spiritual event that should be forcing us to look at
where the real blame lies! Much of the blame lies here in this
room. Much of the blame lies behind the pointing fingers of the
accusers themselves. I wrote a poem just four nights ago that
expresses my feelings best.. This was written way before I knew I
would be speaking here today:
Your laws ignore our deepest
needs,
Your words are empty air.
You've stripped away our heritage,
You've outlawed simple prayer.
Now gun shots fill our classrooms,
And precious children die.
You seek for answers everywhere,
And ask the question "Why?"
You regulate restrictive laws,
Through legislative creed.
And yet you fail to understand,
That God is what we need!
"Men and women
are three-part beings. We all consist of body, mind, and spirit.
When we refuse to acknowledge a third part of our make-up, we
create a void that allows evil, prejudice, and hatred to rush in
and wreak havoc. Spiritual presences were present within our
educational
systems for most of our nation's history. Many of our major
colleges began as theological seminaries. This is a historical
fact. What has happened to us as a nation? We have refused to
honor God, and in so doing, we open the doors to hatred and
violence. And when something as terrible as Columbine's tragedy
occurs -- politicians immediately look for a scapegoat such as
the NRA... They immediately seek to pass more restrictive laws
that contribute to erode away our personal and private liberties.
We do not need more restrictive laws. Eric and Dylan would not
have been stopped by metal detectors. No amount of gun laws can
stop someone who spends months planning this type of massacre.
The real villain lies within our own hearts.
"As my son Craig lay under that table in the school library
and saw his two friends murdered before his very eyes, he did not
hesitate to pray in school. I defy any law or politician to deny
him that right! I challenge every young person in
America , and around the world, to
realize that on April 20, 1999, at
Columbine High
School prayer was brought back to
our schools. Do not let the many prayers offered by those
students be in vain. Dare to move into the new millennium with a
sacred disregard for legislation that violates your God-given
right to communicate with Him. To those of you who would point
your finger at the NRA -- I give to you a sincere challenge. Dare
to examine your
own heart before casting the first stone!
My daughter's death will not be in vain! The young people of this
country will not allow that to happen!"
- - let the nation hear this man's speech.. Please send this out
to everyone you can.
God Bless
