There’s quite a bit running through my mind at the moment. Once again I’ve been reminded of the uncertainty that accompanies each day – two young students at Virginia Tech were murdered last week. The young man was a roommate of one of the leaders on the team that came out to work with us in June/July. That took me back to my second year in college when my chemistry lab partner was killed in a horrific car accident. She was the only sober person in the car, but the others wouldn’t let her drive. Her dream was to be a medical missionary. Just a couple of blocks from our house a security patrolman was gunned down last week. I heard the shots. These are sobering reminders that each day is a gift to be treasured. We don’t have any certainty about what tomorrow holds. But there are truths, facts, that we can cling to. A brief meditation on Psalm 139 can bring comfort.
