I don't usually publish posts like this one, but today my heart is broken.
I got calls this afternoon from several friends to let me know of a tragedy that has taken place in a church I used to serve. A 14 year old girl died early this morning from a brain aneurysm. I know her family well. Her two older brothers were in the youth group I was youth pastor for and her parents were two of my biggest supporters. I'm a huge fan of this family and my heart breaks for them.
Tonight, a community will gather at 7pm to light some candles, say some prayers, but most importantly, to be present to a family in need. As you read this, lift up a prayer for the Pope family - I know they could use it.

Young death is a very hard thing...and the grief is very encompassing for quite a long time. Praying them up...so sorry for your loss
We too are friends of the Popes - met them in the late 90's when Sebe got the job at GA Power. Leah was just a little thing...still walking around with a pacifer in her mouth! The news hit me hard too - Yes, they are such a great family. It's still so surreal...
