Tonight began as usual with 9@9 - one of the most fulfilling times of the week. As 9@9 was ending Janine received a phone call from home and we learned that someone in our community could lose her mom in the next 24 hours. We have been praying and sitting together and there is an eerie stillness over the house tonight. All the plans to get together to make travel plans have ceased. Once again we are brought back to the reality of the frailty of life and we realize that none of the stuff we worry about daily really matters at all- where to travel to next and with whom, what to cook for dinner, papers and midterms, applications, volunteer hours- none of it matters. Loving people every day to the fullest and praising God for every breath is all that we are meant to do. I love you all so much and I cannot wait to see you again.
If you are reading this please lift up a prayer for Kait's mother, their entire family, and the Oxford community. There is power in prayer.
