I started writing this article for the newsletter and I was going to talk about how we look back into the past and how we were going to look ahead into the future. The past is something that we cannot change. We can only look back and reflect on it and try to change the bad things and improve on the good thing we have done. So as I was looking into the future I was thinking about different things that we could improve and new things that I feel that God wants us to get done. So the future was looking bright. But all that changed last Friday. I received a call from my sister that my younger brother Tim was on his way to the hospital that they thought that he might have leukemia. After some more test it was confirmed that he does have it and now the future has totally changed. We don’t know what’s going to happen. I have not been down this road before. But what I do know is that I will not have to go this road alone. I will have my wife and kids and my church family and they will be a great comfort for me. But my greatest comfort will come from my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Yes I have asked God why and I haven’t got an answer back yet. There are a lot of unanswered questions. But I do know this. My brother is a Christian and God is watching over him. Is it hard? Yes. We will get through this. So I ask of you please keep my brother and his family in your prayers and also pray for me and my family. I don’t know what is coming around the bend but I do know that this road will end at my Savior’s feet.
