In the last two days, Wesley's grandmothers brother passed away, his dads childhood friend Chris (who goes to everyone of Wesley's races) wife Mary (brain tumor originally) will be taken off the ventilator today, one of his closest friends in racing AJ Sanders (bowman grays champion in their division) is having 3/4 of his lung removed this morning and they are praying it isn't cancer. At our church we have one of leaders who has been at the church forever it seems like Allen Glidden(brain tumor) ,his wife used to be our church secretary, passed away this morning and one of current elders Jim Abbott is undergoing brain surgery today to remove a tumor.
Sickness and death they can come on so quickly and leave destruction in its path. Josh and I talked to a new Christian yesterday who struggles with "How can a God who is totally in control allow bad things to happen to people" questions. She is one who needs to see things in her hand, not take things totally by faith. She is very very very black and white, very literal in her thinking, can't stand to watch Beth Moore (to artsy fartsy) kind of lady.This is a fallen world and orignal sin is the cause of all this sickness and death.
This morning when I woke up my mind was on all these families, they each are struggling today. They all need peace in some form or another, they all need to feel love, I sure they all have questions that might not get answered at this moment in time. I know that all are trusting in a God who know all the answers and are trying to trust him at this time.
So if you read this think of these today.....and say a prayer.....
