Yesterday was my worst day at Charter Oak Church. One of our students, and the son of one of our staff members, committed suicide. We gathered together as many students as wanted to be here, any parents, and the student ministry staff and we prayed and read scripture for a while last night.
Lots of tears. Lots of questions.
The student's brother and sister were here. We surrounded them with the greatest amount of love that we could.
Here's what I know, God is faithful to His promises. This student gave his life to Jesus. Now he is spending eternity with his heavenly Father. As much as it hurts here, he is rejoicing for eternity. No more sorrow. No more pain.
Worship the King my brother. See you there.

That's pretty rough. God be with you all.
I join in the prayers...
