Nonsense

This Sabbath finds me back in Southern California for the second weekend in a row to attend a funeral for someone struck down too early in life.  Last week I participated in a funeral for a student of mine during my academy teacher days.  He was only 33 years old—with a wife he dearly loved and a daughter he adored!  Today, I will be at funeral for a friend and contemporary.  He coached my three children in the Adventist Softball League when they were children in elementary school.  One day he is fine—the next day he is gone.  Life does not make sense at times.

I survived the week of meetings in Ontario.  Next week will be hectic if for no other reason than the fact I was away for most of last week!  Too many things to do and not enough time to get them accomplished.   There are challenges propping up their threatening heads in certain places across the conference.  Prayers are requested for the situations and the people involved.  For now, Sabbath is here and rest is desired.  Enjoy.  (219.9)
