I actually cut out a newspaper article from the Sacramento Bee this week dealing with human tragedy. It told a story of a double murder of a high school boyfriend and girlfriend. The girlfriend’s jealous ex boyfriend killed both kids. They were on their way to their senior ball.<BR/>To make matters worse, the murdered boyfriend’s brother received the news and took off for home from UC Berkley. Just before arriving to his home, he was in a terrible crash and is in critical condition. These boys mother received all of this terrible news on of all days …Mothers Day…<BR/>How do you make sense of this type of event? There are no “easy” (or hard) answers. We just need to hang onto God and know that he cares for us greatly. I really like what I just read from Rick Warren interview… here is part of his response to the interviewer. “People ask me, What is the purpose of life? And I respond: In a nutshell, life is preparation for eternity. We were made to last forever, and God wants us to be with Him in Heaven. One day my heart is going to stop, and that will be the end of my body-- but not the end of me. <BR/>I may live 60 to 100 years on earth, but I am going to spend trillions of years in eternity. This is the warm-up act - the dress rehearsal. God wants us to practice on earth what we will do forever in eternity. <BR/>We were made by God and for God, and until you figure that out, life isn't going to make sense”. <BR/><BR/>See you Sunday..<BR/>Bro JohnJohnnyPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17782432164425282820noreply@blogger.com
