Never Take Life for Granted

This school year has been shrouded in sadness.

Sorry that I start another blog post with a depressing thought, but I stand for truth.

I found out yesterday that someone I walked the halls with in high school was killed in a car accident on her way back to college. It's no better than finding out that a student who is currently walking the halls died over the weekend like we found out earlier this year. Death is hard.

Liz was spunky and always happy. She was born into a wonderful family who had a heart for everyone and I never knew anyone who didn't like her. Every time I saw her she had a smile on her face. Unfortunately, I never learned more about her because I graduated high school, then she left for college. But what I do know about her will always be good. God has a new beautiful angel watching over all of us right now.

Please pray for the oncoming truck driver who hit her. Sadly, he must live with this for the rest of his life, even though he had no where else to go.

Rest in Peace, Liz. I hope to see you again one day, smiling and welcoming people in at the gate.
