When Things go Wrong....

Wow! This past weekend was very hectic for my friends and I.



To start, late Saturday night/early Sunday morning, two of my close friends and two other people that they were with were in a very bad car accident. They had gone to a club in Grenada, Ms which is about an hour from where they live. I'm pretty sure liquor was involved. On the way home late Saturday/early Sunday morning, they had a car wreck with only their car involved. The car was found some time Sunday morning so it is unknown how long they had been there unconscious...All four people were unconscious. It is said that the three passengers fell asleep while on the way back home which probably caused the driver to fall asleep. All four were taken to ICU. The driver had to be flown to a hospital in Jackson, MS so she could be taken to the trauma center.



Fortunately, the three passengers that were taken to the original hospital are out of ICU now and they came out of the wreck with only bruises, broken legs, a cracked pelvis, and deep scars (not saying that they all had these problems). The driver has yet to wake up. She has a brain injury but doctors don't know the extent of the problem yet. They are keeping her sedated for a couple of days. Fortunately, they didn't have to go through with the surgery to cut off part of her skull, but things still haven't gotten any better.



Sunday night, one of my high school classmates was killed from a gunshot wound to the face. He is an identical twin. Last year, they shot his brother thinking that it was the other twin (yeah, they had the wrong guy). Luckily, he recovered. They have been looking for the right guy for at least a year now. They finally set him up. He was changing a tire for a female right around the corner from the hospital. While changing the tire, he was shot. Someone tried to rush him to the hospital that was less than 3 minutes away, but they followed them and shot him again. He was actually dead before the second time that he was shot. The female that wanted her tire changed had played a part in setting him up. People can be so cruel.



I know I could have made this shorter, but I wanted people to know the whole stories. I said all of this to say, life can be short or long. You never know. Live life to the fullest. Live according to the LORD's purpose. Do not force GOD to be unpleased with how you are living your life. Tomorrow is never promised to us. We are all guilty of wrong-doing, and we should all repent before it is too late.



Please pray for the families of the victims. I can only imagine what they are going through. I am only close friends with these people and I don't know what I would do if I was to lose them. The LORD works in mysterious ways.



PRAYER CHANGES THINGS...
