Faith's Song Page #3

Just trying to keep it fresh.

Can't sing the same

songs week after week.

- You'd be surprised, we've

sang the same five songs

every Sunday and Wednesday

for three months straight.

- That's why you hired me

as the new music minister.

- Have you guys started

on that math homework yet

because I'm completely lost.

- I was hoping

you'd help me out.

- Math is easy.

I got an A on my last math test.

- Okay, smart one, do you

even know what algebra is?

- No, but from the sound of

it, neither do any of you.

She's got a point.

- Hey, neighbor.

- Hey.

I have some horrible news.

Greg and Carol, they've been

in a horrific car crash.

Are they okay?

- Carol, she's in

serious condition

but Greg, I'm afraid

he didn't make it.

- Oh my God, Faith.

- Hey, this is Pastor Mark.

What, when?

Where?

Oh my gosh, yeah, I'll

be there right away.

Oh God, please help this family.

- What is it?

- It's Greg and Carol,

there's been an accident.

- Alright, tell me what we got.

- Female, mid-40s,

internal bleeding,

BP, 85 over 60, heart

rate is weak and running.

She's lost a lot of blood.

We've already given her

two liters of fluid.

- Gotcha, we got it from here.

Let's get her to O.R. now.

- Hi, is there any word

on Carol Bolin yet?

- No sir, she's

still in surgery.

If you'd like to take a

seat at the waiting area,

we'll notify you when

there's any updates on her.

- Okay, thank you.

- Bolin Family?

- Oftentimes, we feel

as though we're entitled

to a certain number of days

or years on this Earth.

This is part of what makes

Greg and Carol's death

so much more difficult to bear.

One thing I need to

remind you, though,

is the Bible makes

no such promise.

As a matter of fact,

the Book of James,

in the fourth chapter,

tells us that our life

is just a vapor that's here

today and gone tomorrow.

Psalms Verse Nine and 12

teach us to number our days

so that we may gain

a heart of wisdom.

Death is always near us,

walking beside each of us

as a constant companion and

many of you that are here today,

you know that all too well.

You realize that the only

reason you're still here today

is because of God's

grace and mercy,

where he saved you

from a situation

that you shouldn't

have walked away from

because it was

part of God's plan.

The Bible tells us in

Matthew Chapter 29,

that not one sparrow

falls from the sky

without the will of God

and he goes on to tell us

that you are much more

valuable than many sparrows.

As tragic as it is to see

the death of Greg and Carol,

I wanna remind you

and comfort you

that this, too, is

part of God's plan.

- I don't understand.

Why can't you just

come live with us?
