A Message of HOPE...


I will miss you, Scott
I've just learned that my neighbor Scott committed suicide this morning... less than 12 hours ago...

Less than 24 hours ago, I was prompted to post the following video after watching it with my family earlier yesterday evening...

However, as you are reading this post now... I obviously never got around to it...

I wish I had pushed past the pain in my body and shared the video... Scott was a Facebook friend, so if I had posted last night, and if Scott happened to check his Facebook this morning before pulling the trigger, it's message of hope could have dramatically changed the events of today... not only for Scott, but for his family and friends who loved him.

But, I won't ever know if that 12 hours would have made a difference... at least, in this life...

Lord, if that prompting was you... please forgive my selfishness... and, next time, please grant me the strength to listen more carefully and then act upon it!

  1. May we remember in the darkness what He taught us in the Light. I pray that Scott's family can find the comfort that only can come from Christ. Merv thank you for encouraging us to listen to the prompting of God's Spirit. May our Sovereign and gracious God help us see even, and especially, in the suffering.
