     12 YEARS AGO TODAY Rachel Joy Scott, a devout Christian, was the first to be shot during the Columbine High School Massacre. Reportedly she was eating lunch on the lawn outside the school when she was approached by the killers and asked if she believed in God. Knowing full well that the end result would be death, she said yes. She Said Yes became the title of a book about Rachel. (See update below.) Refusing to deny her faith in God, Rachel was shot in the head at point blank range. As part of the investigation, video tapes were found in which Eric and Dylan mocked Rachel for her faith. As horribly sad as this is—a precious life lost and a family left with a hole that cannot be filled—I cannot help but be proud of this young lady who in an instant went home to be with the Lord Whom she would not deny. At 17 years of age, she showed more courage and conviction in that one word than most hope to do in a life time.. I honor Rachel today. And let’s face it: she won!
