Recently some very sobering things have happened... My pastor's (in canada) younger brother died last week.... they don't know why... he just died... he was like 39... wife, kids..... gone... and another girl died, too... I was never very close to her.. but i knew her, and talked to her sometimes.. Her name was Paulanne Hoskins... she was 23 ... young, beautiful, loved God more than anything... talented... sweet... gone... her two younger brothers were in my sister's class.... my mom said she had cancer.. hardly anyone even knew she was sick.... my sister is going to the funeral.. i think its today or tomorrow or something... Its hard to imagine her dead... cold... but she's somewhere better now... :) .... she will never be in pain again... never cry... never hurt... never be dissapointed... still, tho.... its hard... Pray for thier families, would you guys? the Hoskins and the Burtons....And I want you all to know that i really love you and appreciate your friendships more than i can say....

Psalm 36:5 "Your love, O LORD, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies."

Psalm 73:25 "Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you."

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

In Christ Always,
