She was engaged to a young man preparing to enter the ministry. They were both so fine as Christians and from such strong Christian families. On a cold night they were parked with the car running and died from carbon monoxide poisoning. I remember the shock and terrible loss I felt. I remember going to the porch and just sitting motionless alone to think it all through. God put on my heart to pray that I would be extra diligent to serve from then on because of such an empty hole created by this loss. May God grant that this loss of this fine young man would impact other young lives to be more dedicated than ever to His service. May God grant healing to his family.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15625783.post-1143604896234587442006-03-28T22:01:00.000-06:002006-03-28T22:01:00.000-06:00Are yall going to post the sermon from Paul's fune...Are yall going to post the sermon from Paul's funeral?Lenwood Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03713957414590713372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15625783.post-1143586904933538622006-03-28T17:01:00.000-06:002006-03-28T17:01:00.000-06:00As one who is unable to be in Jackson I am so appr...As one who is unable to be in Jackson I am so appreciative of your thoughtful words. The practical, social rituals that surround a terrible event like this are surely very hard, but can also comforting and allow us to "Do" something. Thus, it has been challenging to be so far removed, unable to give a hug or word of encouragement.<BR/><BR/>Blessings to all of you that are able to give the family the care that they so need during this time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
