Rally the troops....

Hey guys, tony here, we are in the middle of packing but I saw a newsbreaker that frankly broke my heart. Most of you may know by now, but please pray for Steven Curtis Chapman's family. His 5 yr old daughter was killed today when his teenage son accidently ran over her. His new cinderella song takes on a new meaning after this. Pray for healing, pray for support, but mostly pray for this event to glorify God. I will share a quote by one of my favorite authors that has impacted me through tragedy.

"{Lewis grieving the death of his wife}Bridge-players tell me that there must be some money on the game “or else people won’t take it seriously.” Apparently it’s like that. Your bid—for God or not God, for a good God or the Cosmic Sadist, for eternal life or nonentity--- will not be serious if nothing much is staked on it. And you will never discover how serious it was until the stakes are raised horribly high; until you find that you are playing not for counters or for sixpences but for every penny you have in the world."—C.S. Lewis (A grief observed)
