I Was Caught in a School Lock-Down

My wife and I were notified that we needed to leave the school. We were in the school weight room before 6am when we heard there was a threat and the school wold be locked-down. Announcements were made over the intercom and we left. Our daughter was talking to officials because students had come to her with a copy of the threat over social media.

School was cancelled, the school was thoroughly searched, various agencies were brought in for support, and leads were investigated. Today, the schools were opened and all is well, sort of.

It was finals week with many projects and exams that were unable to be completed due to the closure. Spring break begins tomorrow, but teachers may need to come in over the break to administer tests and grade students.

All is well regarding the safety and security of students. Other school in Minnesota and across the nation have experienced copy-cat threats. The recent shooting that killed seventeen students and faculty in Florida has schools on high alert.

Solutions to keep school shootings from ever happening again fail to address the sin stain in humanity. Jesus is the only true solution. Jesus is the only One who can change a persons heart, attitude and motives from evil to pure.

I am grateful that our school has one main entrance that is locked when school is in session. We have a resource officer and security cameras. 

Jesus is the only solution to bring peace and confidence to students, parents and staff that all will be well.

John 14:27
Peace I leave with you; My peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
