Hello ,

Utter shock and disbelief!  Those two words aptly describe what a family in my congregation is going through at this very moment in time.  This morning, the family learned that they have lost a son ( I believe he was 20).  As you can well imagine...they are numb with grief.  This young made had an identical twin who is left to pick up the pieces, and words cannot begin to express what I am sure he must be going through.

I'm asking for you to lift up this family in a very special way in prayer today.  As the father of three children, I am unable to wrap my mind around losing any one of them. This family is still attempting to understand this.  Please keep them in prayer today, and lift them heavenward in your thoughts.
