So Damn Lucky

Hi guys,
I just wanted to say that it never ceases to terrify and amaze me at how fast our worlds can be turned upside down.
On the way home today Robyn and I saw a car crash. It wasn't good...
One of the members of the CCM horn studio fell off a roof and died...
A friend of one of the freshman horn players committed suicide...
That decision that maybe a heartbeat alone doesn't mean you're living...
Danny...
Poppie...

I urge you all, whomever this reaches, please find something you are grateful for. Even if it's the fact that you drove the ten minutes to work today and made it safely. There will always be something. What are YOU grateful for?
All of these aspects of our life that we find immovable and stagnant, the ones we take for granted, they are all more fragile than we can possibly realize.
Pray with me for all those who are hurting tonight. Chances are, as bad off as you think you are there is someone who is doing a lot worse than you. If you have time and energy and this blog is even on your priority list, you are so damn lucky.
