Death of a Child

This week I was called with the news that one of my former students was killed.  He was a bright, funny child.  He could be found in serious thought during classroom discussions about books.  He loved to wrestle, hunt, play baseball, and read.  But mostly he loved hearing about God's plan for his life.  This young man had plans not only for his life, but how to live his life.  He wanted to live his life for God.  He left behind a beautiful funny sister, a talented and kind mother, and a hard working father.  They will all miss him...but more than anything, they will miss the man he was going to become.  Dalton, I am going to miss you.
