~Christopher Laurie's Death~

~I was just checking my email and had an email from a friend saying that Christopher Laurie (Son Of Pastor Greg Laurie) was killed yesterday in a car accident~~~It is so weird, I mean I knew him (not well, but I knew him none the less) and now he is gone~~~I rented a room from his father-in-law for a little while and there were pictures of him, his wife and daughter all over~~~It is so strange to think he has passed on, he is in heaven now~~~I rejoice that Chris knew the Lord and the he is now with the Father~~~It is a bittersweet thing though because of the family left behind~~~His wife Britney is pregnant with there second child(due November) and that is going to be harder then I can even begin to imagine going through~~~Prayers are greatly needed now for what is to come~~I hurt for Stella(his daughter) she is only a few months older then my little Anne and she is not going to have her father growing up along side her~~~She was just bearly getting to know him, just bearly making memory's and now he has passed~~~My mother lost her father when she was 3 years old and I have always wondered how it was growing up without a father~~~I've been lucky to have my father through my whole childhood and still now (even though I did not always like what he told me to do) I have always loved him and looked up to him~~~Come to think of it I don't think he knows that~

~~~But anyway with all these deaths going on around me (My Grandfather passed on July 9th) it makes me think about life and how short and uncertain our time here really is~~~We are only here a short while, but what he do here as everything to do with what happens after we have passed on~~~We spend so much time worrying about what others think and about what makes us happy and when you really sit down and think about it none of that stuff matters if you are going to hell in the end~~~Why are we not out there everyday telling people about God and all he has done and can save us from~~~Why are we worried about upsetting people with God's truth~~~We stand by and watch people waste there lives away and then die, all this without every even telling them "Hey God Loves you and wants to be in your life and save you from the pit's of hell"~~~Why do we wait until after people are gone to think "Oh I wish I had told them about God"~~~WHY, WHY, WHY~~~There is nothing to fear but fear it's self, we have nothing to loss, I mean we have God on our side and in the end we will be with Him~~~So nothing else should matter~~~Yet for some reason it does~

~~~Anyway I could go on for days about this, but seeing as my sister Rachel is going to be the only one who reads this I am going to sign off~~~The Lauries and all who knew Chris are in my prayers~



~Love you all~

Thanks for writing out your thoughts, Sarah. You brought up so many good points about telling others about God simply because they NEED HIM...I should not be nervous of fearful to honestly proclaim Him at all times.
