Numb

We are numb here. Yesterday on the way home from an amazing experience at a youth conference one of our church vans rolled over killing one little boy and seriously injuring 5 others. My husband and I were sponsors on the trip. As we drove into the church parking lot we received a call with this news from the husband of the driver of the vehicle. He and 7 young boys were in the car following the one that rolled. They have memories that need healing. His wife is in Lubbock, TX in serious condition. Three boys are in Ft. Worth at Cook's Childrens Hospital and one 14 year old girl remains hospitalized here in Abilene. Our church is hurting. Our kids are hurting. We need your prayers. Julie Folwell, the family of Brody Bourland, Chris Cope, Jon Westin Bennett, Austin Lemmons, Amarra Childers, Beth Johnston, Chris Perkins. Thank you.

Oh my gosh, Candy, I can't imagine, it makes my stomach and heart twist to even try. You are all in my prayers.

Oh Candy - what ache so many are feeling. I cannot begin to know that kind of pain. I will pray for each of you for whatever it is you need to get through another minute, another hour, another day.
