Sadness

well, i've just received an email from pastor of a church just outside of boston, mass that entailed some very sad news. in the spring of 2005 i went on a trip to boston with group of friends to do some work at a church up there. we met many homeless people and had the opportunity to share the love of Christ with them. one of the men we met was a vietnam vet named eddie, who had had a pretty rough go at it. i personally grew to love eddie's spirit in the short time i was there and found myself in deep concern for his salvation. the message i recieved from the pastor of this church informed me that eddie had been found dead in a pool of water. apparently eddie had been on a drinking binge and found himself face up in a pool of water with no way out. i cannot say for sure that eddie did or did not recieve the saving grace that only the father can give, but i can say that i find deep sorrow on this 16th day of december.
