God's comfort
Posted on May 15, 2010 by Pastor Tom
My cousin, Doug Stringer, a friend, fellow minister, father and husband buried his 17 year old son yesterday. Words cannot describe the pain and agony he and his family feel. Yet amazingly God continues to work and support them through this time. 1000 people attended the funeral yesterday in support, hundreds of them high school students. In this time of deep loss, let us pray that God’s message of hope will penetrate the hearts of many. My prayer for them and the other family is from 2 Corinthians 1:5 – “For just as the sufferings of Christ flow into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows.”
I pray the same for your life.
Some pictures from yesterday’s funeral are found here:

Life is so precious - treasure it.

I just found out my cousin’s 17 year old son was killed in a car accident in Ottawa on Saturday night. Wow. I can’t believe it. A huge reminder to treasure each moment with our kids.
Check here for the last conversation between my cousin and his son.
