fireball 40 2014....today is going to be a great day. there is nothing that can mar the memory of the life we are celebrating and nothing that can take away the beauty of the love given to us by so many. please join me this morning in a prayer of thanksgiving for all that has been and will be, a prayer of comfort for anyone who has loved and lost, who loves and is losing, and who is lost themselves...and most of all please offer a prayer of blessings for the tournament. i am reminded this morning of the day i had to empty corys book bag in front of a room of strangers. i can still feel their stares as they wrote notes in their tiny little spiral notebooks...i can feel the same pain i felt when i reached into corys book bag and took out the last item there. i can still feel the chill i felt thinking that behind the stares was an underlying sick desire for those people to see what it was that cory might have had in his bag that could have caused this tragedy, i still remember the haunting thirst they seemed to have and my thoughts that they just wanted to have something to whisper about.... i remember praying that whatever my hand was on would be some kind of answer for us all, even for the strangers... and it was. it was corys Bible. the room fell silent and all i could think about was how in my frantic prayers i had begged God to be with Cory and how, in that horrible moment...He had just sent me an answer that He was. 21 and beautiful...and gone. but i had my answer. he had not been alone. its been a long, hard, horrible hell of a journey...but i cant help but occasionally smile, thinking how disappointed those officials looked to see that the young ka had nothing but a cup, a visor, keys, books, and a Bible in his book bag...and i cant help but see cory throwing his head back, smiling that beautiful wrap me around his finger smile and saying....got cha. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress, my God: in Him will I trust (Psalm 91:2) thank you for this day sweet Lord, please hold me up, keep me strong when i waver (which is often) and bless all i say and do. amen
