Mourn with those who Mourn

The Apostle Paul admonishes us in Romans 12:15 to "rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn." This week I am mourning with my close friend, Mike Jackson. Mike is one of my rafting partners and, even more importantly, is a great friend, a mentor, an amazing example in faith & fatherhood, and a true joy to be around.

Earlier this week Mike's father had a massive heart attack and went into a coma from which he would never return. The family made the tough decision to pull life-support last night. His father passed away in less than seven minutes.

Please pray for Mike & Nancy and their children - Nici, Sarah & Jonathan. They have been close friends of mine for over 11 years, and I know they would appreciate your prayers.
