Let's Talk Turkey.....Well......Death
Last Thursday after battling cancer my sister-in-law passed away. She left behind 4 young children (the oldest turned 10 last Friday), my brother who is now a single parent, and an extended family not ready to let her go at only 40+ years old. She had been asking God for time to graduate her kids, and for whatever reason the answer was "No". My deep thought at this moment essentially comes down to, "this stinks". I like to think I understand the "why" from a Christian perspective, but when that leaves my nephew and nieces without a mom, and my brother without a wife, than it certainly bears a re-examining. This was supposed to be a single, longer post, but right now I can't handle the rawness of emotions stirred up. So maybe it would be better to begin stringing out thoughts a little at a time, and maybe that is a journey you will find worth taking with me.

My heart goes out to you. And I'm praying that God will give you grace for this journey. The rawness of the emotions are ok. They are real. If I can be of any help, give me a call.
