two friends of mine went down in a motorcycle accident tonight. neither is particularly well, but one is far worse off than the other. in the midst of phone calls and emails i have to keep stopping to pray. these boys don't know Jesus as their Lord and Savior but i have to believe in the God who knit them together in their mothers' wombs. His knowledge is so intimate. He knows each cell, each molecule. He is there in the icu giving my friend each breath and He's doing the same for me here. i know He can mend his body.

happy birthday, you-you

st joe's boys
