He spoke of the way they have moved beyond the tragedy that occurred in their city. He said they have new energy and commitment to the Lord. Jesus is alive and in control. Youth can pick up on this become demoralized. Tell everyone to speak only what they know to be the truth.
Rumors can be rampant following a tragedy.
Don't' overreact and start crawling into a hole. Don't be afraid to face life and go on with normal activities. After a while, teenagers want to get on with their normal life. Don't drag out the talking about the tragedy. Youth may need to talk months down the road.
