Tough Day

Not sure what possessed me to write tonight - it's been a tough day - for a lot of us. Maybe I was feeling like it had been so long that I needed to post for my fans (you know who you are :)! ) - but in reality - I think I just needed to say a little about how I was feeling. Usually I would put this in my private journal - but I know there are more of you out there that are hurting and maybe I just wanted you to know that we can hurt together. Today we said goodbye to the Music Director of our church and his wife who were killed in a senseless car accident. And although God spoke through Pastor Craig who gave a wonderful sermon this morning and at the memorial service, I just don't understand. I don't understand how this could happen - why this would happen and mainly I don't understand why I'm struggling so much with this. We've only known Ron since March - but he took a chance on a couple of beginner guitar players and let them play in the band, he was relaxed and calm and so talented. He had such wonderful plans for the choir, the church and even those beginner guitar players. He had a sense of humor and made choir fun again - but most of all - I'll remember how he loved the cow bell on the drums! He will be missed - God Bless Ron and Kelly as they have moved on to live eternally with our Savior and King. Amen.
