Praying for a Friend

Last week a good friend of mine was involved in a serious motorcycle accident. He and his wife were actually taking care of our kids while my wife and I got away for a weekend by ourselves. He had gone out to run an errand and upon returning to our house was struck by a young Taiwanese kid going WAY TOO FAST down a narrow lane behind our house. In the 3+ years that we have lived here I have witnessed at least 6 accidents at that particular cross-alley. It is a dangerous place to cross, especially for those that aren't aware of it. I never thought a close friend of mine would be one of the "statistics" of that crossing.

I, along with several friends, visited him in the hospital today, and prayed for him. We question why this had to happen to him, why now; especially since he and his wife lost their oldest daughter earlier this year in a motor vehicle accident in America in January. What we do know is that God is not finished with him yet. God still has plans for him. Please pray for my friend, Scott, and his wife, Leslie. Pray for God's grace to overflow in their lives at this time. We are all in the war together.
