Words are inadequate
It seems that I could never convey the depths of my sorrow in a forum such as this, but my mind has been consumed with some friends of ours grief. On saturday while we were with them they got word that their little nephew, not yet 2 had shot himself with a 22 pistol. We know the father of the toddler, but are pretty close with the fathers brother and sister. The father has been arrested and spent the first few days of his sons death in jail. This was a terrible accident and not some willful neglect. The father is overcome with despair, and I'm pretty sure that he does not know the Lord. I know that God can use this for good, but goodness the pain is staggering for this family.

wow.... how in the world did this happen?
It was just a horrible accident, a careless moment that we as parents sometimes have. Ask Danny to put him on his list, because we are already having opportunity to minister to the family.
I am so sad about this accident too. I knew the father in highschool and it is just such a tragic thing. Praying for him and his family. Hugs, Ash
