Dangers...
A stock-car racer lost his race and his life last night. He knew and embraced the risks. His family will still be devastated and not hearing any condolences offered.
About the same time a mother, driving her children and their friends to a 13th birthday party, crossed the central reservation on a local dual carriageway; killing three of the children and the other driver involved in a head on crash on the other carriageway.
Pictures of the grieving families and friends have appeared on local and national television.
Two funerals to arrange for someone.
When I officiate at a funeral I always make the assumption that the deceased is in good standing with our maker, through the good offices of our Saviour the Lord Jesus.
I always take a funeral in the same way that I hope someone will take mine.
I shall not be taking either of these funerals, but I trust that the minister concerned operates in the same way.
