Jesse

A young man of 18 passed away this week. A freak accident took his life. He was out with friends at football practice. They were all going from the field to the swimming pool when suddenly the coach heard a cry for 911. Jesse had fallen off of the back of a car and hit his head. He was unconscious and rushed to a Des Moines Hospital. He never came to. Just like that his life had ended. How difficult this must be for his parents, family and friends. It's just not the order of the way things are to happen. Ya know what I mean? But, I did hear that Jesse gave his life to Christ this past summer. He was given another chance and he choose the right one. He turned towards Jesus instead of away. He gave his life over to Him. What a peace that must be for his family, to know that he is with Jesus today. As his mother would say, "he is eating chocolate and visiting with Christ.
