just reacently, one of my friends father passed on. he died of a heart attack. no one knows how it happened, he was a perfectly healthy guy. i am happy to say he was a strong Christian; so i am glad of his final destination. he was my basketball coach in seventh grade. he died during church last wednesday.
its really hard on his four kids and wife. his work was the major income for the family. i pray his death will not put them in a finantial bind. his youngest(my friend) was very close to him, they were best friends. this part of my friends life is the worst time for someone to go through this. my friend is my age.
its also hard on a lot of kids at school. many of them had him as a basketball coach. the others that were not in basketball were good friends of his oldest son. i pray that this will not be too hard on anyone.
i hope this wont drive my friend down a dangerous path. he has a different way of expressing his feelings. i only hope this will strenghten the bond between him and his family and God. he needs your prayers very much.
i hpoe that you will pray for the family. i also pray for everyone who was affected; his family, friends, church, and basketball team.
this experience has opened my eyes to a truth. we have little time on this earth. God gives us time, so we aught to be good stewerds of it. "Life is but a vapor". no one knows when their time is. so if you are a Christian and reading this, please, im begging you, to witness to the lost, or they are codemed to an eternity in hell. even though every one deserves hell, it is very harsh to just stand by and watch good lives go there. if you are nt saved, i am also begging you to go to someone to lead you to Christ. i really dont know how to witness(we are reading "one thing you cant do in heaven" in study group), but i would right now.
just please remember the Harrison family in your prayers. God bless you all
