Columbine Student’s father 12 years later

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.

                 Your laws ignore our deepest needs,
                 Your words are empty air.
                 You've stripped away our heritage,
                 You've outlawed simple prayer.
                 Now gunshots 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 again.”
Darrell Scott

Another reason why this performance hit me so hard, is that it is so close to home now. I am now officially an army wife of 4 month…still fresh and new with this new army life, but wow, when you have a loved one out there, especially your sweetheart, you have a new perspective on everything. As an individual, mother, couple and family, this cause of freedom means everything to our little, growing family. Now as an army family we live it everyday in our home with daddy out there protecting our liberties. Each day it hits me in different ways just how important it is, and it keeps me moving forward in the pursuit of protecting and bringing attention to those liberties.

I do have to admit, yes, as a mother of little ones, running the house hold now, Captured Miracles, my art, and church. All these responsibilities do get overwhelming. I find myself wondering, “How I am going to do it all?” I do feel the Lord’s help and miracles happening everyday, each time they do I know that I must… we all need to keep moving forward. It is so important, with this cause of Captured Miracles, that we put aside differences and come together, and that we use our individual talents to strengthen faith, family and freedom.

When I heard the words in this song, “you fight to save your brother by your side”, that is why I keep going, why my husband does…why we all keep going. That is part of the price of freedom. Even when it gets hard, I will keep doing my part to help save my children, family, friends, loved ones. So we can all continue to have those liberties that our Founding Fathers sacrificed so much for us to have.

I want to thank all those that are fighting by my side, my husband Rusty, Kirsten Millsap, Bill Norton, Bob Gunnell, Brian Trotter, Kimberly Fletcher, wow there are too many to name them all, the whole cast and crew of The Miracle of America, and all others out there doing your part, thank you everyone for fighting by my side.

For 2 years, I have had the categories of Faith, Family, and Freedom on the site, and for 2 years… I have only had one fine art image in the Family category. I had not been inspired on exactly what collection to start with in the Family category… Until now. While talking with Kimberly, my creative juices started flowing and I knew that I was to have this category be represented the same way that they were. Families committed to freedom, parents raising the new generation of Patriots. I want to encourage you to read their book/e-book and share this wonderful vision with others. In the coming months I will be working on this new fine art photography collection. After reading the book and looking through their site, I would love to hear from you. I will be creating ideas to shoot and creating final images. If you have any ideas of your own and would like to share, I would love to hear from. CLICK HERE) If I use your idea, I will send you a signed print of the final image.
