As I was looking over the morning news on the web, I see the story of yet another teen whose life has ended tragically in a recent car wreck. As I sat there and read the article feeling sad for the friends and family and their loss I noticed that they are going to be gathering to remember the life of this young man at his memorial service.
It is wonderful to see that above all things this young man will be remembered as one who had a relationship with Jesus. Because of that relationship, this family has a comfort in the midst of the pain, a ray of hope in the darkness and a diamond in the roughest of the rough.
My heart and prayers go out to this family and community during this time of loss and also to the other families and boys who survived.
