Good Morning, God,
These days it seems that nothing in the headlines shocks us much anymore. The decisions or lack thereof of our elected officials are common-place. The summer heat that blankets much of our nation is day to day and makes us wish for an early fall. There isn't even much new news on the international scene.
However, Lord, sometimes we are really struck by the headlines when a well-known person in our area meets a sudden death. Today we think about John Becher and his family, Lord. John, who has helped so many of us around here get through the death of a loved one, now must rely on others to help his loved ones get through his sudden, untimely death. Today we all pray for John's family, friends and co-workers, that we not grieve so much for his loss, but give thanks for his life and that he cared so much for so many of us.
And, Lord, may we live as carefully as we can, that our loves will not have to grieve over our untimely death. May we and you hold those we love close this day and every day.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
