History class cancelled,



"Justice is not optional," Dr. Strauss said, because justice is the symphony of God's created things given the space to be what they were made to be, with each peculiarity contributing to the sound that pleases those who hear it.
After watching the arraignment of Robert Gulla yesterday, the young man who murdered Megan’s friend Allison, and hearing the details of how he abused and so purposefully mutilated her body to the point that her life couldn’t stay inside it any longer – and after hearing Dr. Strauss mention the afternoon where he had to be the voice (in translation) for the man confessing to the details of how he tortured one of Dr. Strauss’ youth group friends, I am reminded of just how ruined this earth really is.

What is death?
At what point can the spirit no longer remain in the body? How is it tied there?
Does it leave like we think it does? Where?
How can someone break another person so brutally that they die?
