It is a somber time when the young die. In a little over a week, I have been very impacted by 3 people who have passed from this life. I personally knew one. The other two, I feel like I knew. In a very real sense, they were each "family". Their deaths have made me stop and ask the age old question, "Must the young die, too?" I've decided today, to share the following links for your inspiration and meditation.

Just last Friday, I shared about the sudden and unexpected death of a student of mine, Wyatt. Here are links to that blog post and his obituary:
Then, this week, the 15 year old nephew of my friend from Delaware, Lisa, died very unexpectedly of what doctors are calling "natural causes". What? Although I had never met Michael, many people who I know, were Michael's friends. Michael lived with his family in Minnesota and went to the same Bible Camp that my brother-in-love and his wife, Stacy and Carol, have helped run for years. Michael's life and death have given many people time to reflect on their own lives and their Creator. Here is a link made today about Michael from The Christian Chronicle.

Then, while on The Christian Chronicle website, I read about the new principal at Abilene Christian Elementary School in Abilene, Texas who suddenly passed away. Then, I went to the tribute written by her preacher. Thank you, God, for allowing me to get a glimpse of Myrna.
