Faithful

well, tough stuff today. a funeral for a former student...a 16-year-old boy. such things just shouldn't happen.

i think what is also hard for me is watching what unchecked dysfunction does...it chews up and spits out children. i did, however, have something powerful sink into my heart tonight. god doesn't let go of kids. even when they move outside of your reach, he continues to pursue and work his plan in their lives. he uses other people and other circumstances. he's good like that. faithful! in the midst of the great suffering that so many are experiencing, it is so good to see god's fingerprints...proving presence and hope.

if you think of it, please pray for the family and friends of this young man. comfort and peace.

also, please pray for the young lady that was driving the vehicle. she's being treated so badly as the scapegoat for people's pain. so sad.
