Our campus is devastated today by the news that is reported here.
We thank everyone for their prayers for the students who were victimized by this crime, for their families and for their fellow students who share their sense of pain. We are happy that they are physically well and with their strong, loving families. We are also glad that the police have arrested a suspect.

Praying
We need to pray for those who committed this crime as well.
I just saw this over the internet. I was saddened to hear what happened, but am glad to hear that both individuals are safe and alive. As a previous member of SWNID's institution, my prayer is that these two individuals, along with the larger college community, will be able to heal and move forward together.
My prayers are with both CCU and SWNID.
SWNID,
May I ask why all my comments appear as "anonymous" now? Just curious if you were responsible or if it is a glitch.
Glitch. It may be because this blog was on the old Blogger. But now it's on the new Blogger.
We don't have time to mess with people's comments, least of all to anonymize signed ones. That, by the way, is why we don't do much commenting on comments any more.
Really, we don't have time to blog. But we do.
"When I think of all the time that I've spent blogging ..."
SWNID,
I appreciate the response. I had blogger beta for quite awhile and was commenting with that. I figured it was a glitch with all the new stuff. Thanks for responding. I appreciate it.
Next time I'm in town I would love to get together with you and talk. eeewww we can match wits.

Dude its nothing personal its just I know how it is with people like you. You start a storefront wal-church and trade white middle class church-goers like poker cards. You guys literally compete with one another for a piece of THE GLORY- causing the Cause of Christ to be more or less divided and weakened. You would never work a straight job to support your family then volunteer to advance some other established churche's agenda...even if it prevented you from wasting time building up a ministry with your name on it. I was at Bridgetown CC a year ago when I mentioned Impact to one of their associate ministers- he said and I quote, "Oh Impact..you mean Bridgetowns toothache." I was aghast, but them I remembered how AB had bad-mouthed them all the time in a way that made me feel like we had to defeat this ememy.
Yeah so maybe I don't like you guys partly because AB sold me down the river-but he knows that I have always had these opinions- even when he pretended they were his ideals too so that I would think he was cool.
Yeah so I did alot of soul searching after my brief and awful experienced playing church at OHCC. I decided to take it to the streets so to speak. I would take a bus downtown from where I lived on Ferguson. I had gotten completely sober and was spending most days for several months walking around Over the Rhine..engaging people in conversations. I was (God as my witness)...sharing the gospel in crack houses and on the street. I guess it was a blessing in disguise that Greg Mcdaniel wouldnt work with me because..."I had or had a drug problem." I was working at the time as a security officer at the Carew Tower four days a week from 3-11. So I was feeling pretty good about myself at this time. Wow would I recieve my reward in heaven i thought. I was "keepin it real," so to speak, and I felt good that I wasnt going up the hill each week to get pats on the pack and praise from the christians in the fortress. Well it all changed quickly when someone decided I was narc. After having a gun to my head, my face rearranged, and my bowels carved out of my stomach I cowered. I couldnt take it. I fled. It was to much. I admit it... whether It was righteous or not I was scared shitless with 50 staples in me laying up at University hospital. I called Impact to see if someone would come pray with me, but was told AB was on vacation (probably practicing his hard-core sacrificial ministry on Hilton Head or on a beach in Florda)..Greg never called me back. So I really dont have the answers. It is however my opinion that the school should relocate. They shouldnt stay in danger zone because of rhetoric that says....well we Shouldnt run- since ideally we should be ministering (though we dont). Hey you work at the school and I'm sure everyone is outraged by this violence. Here is a challenge for ya....why dont you try and get all those idiots in the dorm to spend the time they do playing video games doing christian service.
yeah I like to see that happen ...try to take those controllers out of their hands and our future ministry pros will have something to really be passionate about. Yeah so like I said Mason has electricity for playstations so maybe you guys could set up shop somewhere where the girls in the Bridal college program arent getting raped.

This is in regards to what jas_infp had to so eloquently, or not so, to say. While one is hard bound to say that he is wrong in that we at CCU need to be doing what we claim to (reaching the lost of price hill) it is rather absurd and quite appalling to read jas_infp reaching conclusion that if we at CCU did our job then violent crimes would simply not occur. How childishly naive! Not naive in jas_infp experince for he surly reflects first hand knowledge of the world. But naive in thinking that CCU can rid Cincinnati of violent crime. --Thomas
