Reality strikes...

Today's been a true day of good and bad...

First, the bad... The son of a local pastor (of a church many Crosspoint people used to go to) died today. No need for details here...it's just a very sad situation that must be very hard on his family. Most people at Crosspoint knew him pretty well over the years, thought I didn't, since I've only lived here a couple of years. Still, I feel for all those that are hurt by the loss. Stacey and I will certainly keep all of you/them in our prayers...

Now, the good...

Wait...is it possible to just 'skim' over something tragic and go on with the good stuff?

Well, that would probably be tasteless. So, I'll wait on that. Something like this kind of makes our normal Monday night at the Guad seem hardly worth mentioning. It was a fun night, of course, though much of our conversation centered around what happened.

In a community like Decatur, news like this impacts the WHOLE community. I just hope that God works through all this...comforts those hurting and draws the community together.

Peace.
