One of my favorite preachers and Christians was killed in a car accident this morning. He leaves behind his wife and 10 children. He was head of IHOP’s adoption ministry (the reason he has 10 children several of whom are handicapped).

I’m absolutely devastated by this news. Of all people to die young (he was 37). You can ask “why?” but we don’t know why. Why take someone who the church and his family needs and leave behind people like me? Who knows.

Yesterday Derek’s friend Randy Bohlenger wrote an incredibly timely post about living knowing that your time is running out.
