In light of the recent deaths in my hometown community of Tremont, may I just say how a time like this reminds us that this life can end so abruptly. We see God's hand of protection on one hand for the girls on the bus, as things could have been so much worse for them, had the bus overturned, etc. Yet we see young lives lost on the other hand. May we remember that our time here is short - we are not promised one more day here, so we should make the very most of each and every minute of the time we are given. Don't waste your time in complaining and being negative or feeling sorry for yourself - be positive, be a blessing to others, do whatever you can to reach out and be kind to your neighbors. And as we ponder all this, may be each say a prayer for these two families who have lost one of their own, way too soon.
