The Loss of Life

[gblackwell]

Last night a friend of mine from home put a gun in his mouth and shot himself. His roommate came home and found his body in the floor of their apartment. He called Chris's parents and waited in the apartment with Chris's dog until they arrived. He was 23 and wasn't even a college graduate. For some reason Chris thought not being here was better

obviously, with the loss of steven, i know how you feel. i remember at the funeral looking at steven's mom and she didn't have a tear in her eye. she said that the Lord was her joy and if this would bring him glory, then she would dance in the aisles of the baptist church...and that's exactly what she did when 15 people were saved at his funeral. so many good things can come from death even when our pain is too much for us to see it clearly. steven has taught me so much through his death, and now i have an urgency about life and the yearning to tell others about Christ. i don't think i would have ever had that if steven was still alive. it's so amazing to see how God works even in the most dreadful of circumstances.
