Prayers for HHS Students

Yesterday afternoon, there was a terrible wreck in our small town. It happened after school and involved 5 high school teenagers. 1 boy was DOA, 2 are in serious condition and 2 are in critical condition. We have a place in town called 'the dip.' It's almost a rite of passage to sail through going 40-50 mph or even more. It's been around forever and almost every person in town has a story about going through 'the dip.' Tragedies like these shake our small town to its core and it breaks all of our hearts to hear yet another sad story. Young lives lost over stupid choices we've all made.

The young man who died was a football player and will be missing his team play tomorrow night, but I'm sure he'll be smiling on his teammates from a much better place. Please take a moment to treasure the loved ones in your life. They can be taken from you in a split second. I pray that the families involved can find peace and the students of Huntsville will somehow be able to move forward. I pray that our small town recovers from such a loss and maybe our town will think about doing something to make that area of town a little bit safer for our generations to come.
