While I was away in Texas, Lorena and the kids went to Sunday gospel meeting with Grandpa Milo and Grandma Sarah. They heard a handsome, young (35 years) preacher named Jeremy. They saw him again last week at a potluck for a friend visiting from visiting from Australia while I was in California. We heard yesterday that he drowned trying to save his brother-in-law in a kayaking mishap. The brother-in-law, a 41 year old father of four boys drowned, too. I had never met either man, so it did not touch me so much personally other than in the way it affected Lorena and the kids.  Lorena was especially shook up. The thing she remembers most about Jeremy is his smile. She remembers him smiling all the time. He smiled when he met and spoke with her and the kids and he smiled when he preached.  It is hard to know the mind of God in these things. The comfort we have is that, in this case, we know these men were trying to do what God had given them to do in the time He gave them to do it. That surely seems to be enough.
