Sad News is Never Timely

Today was a very sad day.  Notice arrived early this morning that a TAA student was shot and killed the previous evening while at a park near his home while on “home leave.”  A pall has descended on the community.  A 16 year-old was senselessly killed.  Details are sketchy, but even if they were not, the tragedy is still stark and disconcerting.  Personally, I have had enough of this!  This is not the way things are supposed to be.  His parents emptied their scarce personal financial resources to send this young man and his two sisters to Adventist schools this year.  “Life is not fair” does not make it any more palatable.  How long, oh Lord!

Next week will an interesting week on the campus of TAA.  Grief counselors are being secured and plans are being set in motion to allow as many students as desire to attend the services a week from Sunday.  It is truly a tragedy.  Keep the family of this young man in your prayers.  His name was Andrew.
