Melanie and I were at the Round Rock Express baseball game with the Lewis and West family.  Tim Lewis showed up late.  He had Mali and Alyssa with him.  He told us that as they were driving on Toll Road 130, a semi-truck hit a person.  Tim said that they missed the actual incident by less than a minute.  He said that he stop to help.  He saw what looked like a deer in the road, but it was this teenage looking kid.  He told Mali and Alyssa not to look.  Tim went to the truck driver, Murry Potts, to make sure he was OK.  Murry told Tim that he saw the kid by the guard rail and then the kid just jumped…jumped right in front of his semi-truck.  So the kid committed suicide.  How sad.  What was this kid thinking?  Why was his life so bad that he thought this was the way out?  This got me thinking, that we as Christ followers have to step up.  We have to become the pastors, the preachers, the people who spread the Word of God.  We missed this kid, and it makes me sad.

Please be praying for Tim, Mali, and Alyssa.  The two girls were way to young to see something like this.  Please pray that they keep strong.  Murry Potts really needs some strong prayers.  No person should have to go through that.  It is sad that because of one persons actions, the kid jumping in front of Murry’s semi, that it has made a huge dent it all these peoples lives.

God Bless You All
