Not a happy post

Dear blog readers, I'm asking that each of you prays for a girl who is in my small group and her family: Melanie's sister-in-law was killed in a car accident earlier today. Her [8- or 9-year-old] niece Katie was taken to UAB but she passed away as well. I think Melanie's brother has two other children who were not in the car. I really can't imagine anything more tragic, so please keep this family on your minds and in your prayers.

Life is so very short. Go hug your families.
