The blindspotwhat the coverage leaves out

Grief without eternal hope

The report captures real grief and community outrage but offers no larger frame for why violence and bullying exist or where lasting comfort is found. Scripture names murder as an assault on God's image and offers hope beyond present sorrow.

OUR READING

Behind every headline of youth violence is a soul made in God's image, and only He can comfort grief this deep.
