Sheldon

I had not planned to blog anymore today, but now I need to.  Tonight we got an email informing us of Sheldon Martin's death.  He is the husband of Louisa, and they both attend our church back in the States.  Or did.  Two days ago Sheldon went to Heaven after his canoe capsized in Lake Cheney.   He was newly married and only 31 years old.  This is too unbelievable!  He was the children's SS superintendent this past year.  Week after week we all had the privilege of watching him teach biblical truths to the children in the most interesting and entertaining ways.  The children loved him.  We are in shock- completely.  Please pray for Louisa!!  Please do.  That would be my heart cry- pray for the family.  We know Sheldon is fine now.

Sudden, tragic deaths and the resulting sadness are very real to us.  Soon after Sheldon and Louisa got married, about 3 years ago, we lost our 12 year old son.  Seth was in a hayride/tractor accident.  The details I'll save for another day, if The Lord grants that.  Honestly, all of our days are numbered.  It seems presumptuous to assume any of us have 'another day.'  Let's give God our ALL today while we still have time.  He is worthy.
            ......and if you haven't yet, please pray for Louisa.
