Sad News

Our family is in North Carolina visiting our grandson, Max (and everyone else of course--but Max is center stage). Reading the Tennessean on the way over, I saw the obituary of a young man who went to school in Charleston, SC about the same time our daugher went. He was twenty-one. What a tragedy.

Our children needs our daily prayers. We need to pray for their protection and for a blessing on their relationship with God. My practice is to pray the Jesus Prayer over the folks in my family. "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on ____ a sinner." I'll pray the prayer several times, knowing that God understands the needs of the person better than I do. I ask the Holy Spirit for guidance. Sometimes, as I pray, I will be led to pray for something particular.

Please pray for the young man who died,Paul, and for his family.
