Professor Librescu - Virginia Tech

It's been a long time since I posted on this blog. I've been very busy - too busy. And I really don't have time now. But I was so moved by the story of the 76 year old professor at Virginia Tech who sacrificed his life to save the lives of his students.

Liviu Librescu was a Holocaust survivor who was born in Romania. He blocked the door to keep the murderer out of his classroom while he told his students to flee. As they jumped out windows to safety, Professor Librescu was fatally shot while still blocking the door.

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:13)

God bless Professor Librescu. May his sacrifice be an example to us all and a blessing to those he saved.
