Nobody Thinks It Will Be Them
Hebrews 9:27 This last Monday morning, my wife and I looked out of our window and saw three police cars stationed outside of our neighbor's house. We saw people going in and out of the house, each wiping tears from their eyes. Clearly something happened unexpectedly there. I texted one of my neighbors and he sent me the tragic news. Our 25-year old neighbor, Jonathan, had passed suddenly in his sleep. It was a death that has shocked the entire community. This last Friday I stood before a group of family, friends, and neighbors to share about Jonathan's life. One week ago, none of us knew we would be gathering together for this reason. Death is like that. It comes suddenly. It's tragic. But it comes to everyone. Two years ago, Angela and I received a phone call from our dear friend Ashley. Her husband, Ben, a wonderful husband and father, had succumbed in his battle with leukemia. He was thirty four years old. Last year a good friend of our church, Steve Currinton, who had founded a growing and effective ministry to the addicted, had a sudden heart attack and died. He was 45 and had 5 children. Last year we also received the shocking news that a graduate of a nearby high-school, an Army soldier in Afghanistan, was killed in a firefight. |
