Sadness in Shoals


Last night at our meal at church, my nephew who teaches at Shoals, came to me and told me that a teacher had committed suicide. When he told who, I remembered the teacher. He was quite popular and did lots of good things with the students. I remember him as a cross country coach, back in the day when I helped with junior high cross country. I was impressed by his passion.

It's going to be a rough day in Shoals. Will you pray for that community today?

I will pray for them tonight. Depression/suicide is a taboo subject in the church isn't it? How much more could we help if the fear and judgement goes away?
