Prayers for the Allen family
My heart is heavy this morning. Ben Allen, son of one of my fellow elders, passed away suddenly last evening. He was in one of the med schools in Houston.
Garrett Turner, son of another Southern Hills family and also in one of the med schools in Houston, was with Ben at the hospital when he died. He too is in my thoughts and prayers.
I'm sad for all my friends who are in pain -- Ben's extended family, friends, our Southern Hills family.
I'm glad for Jesus and the promise of heaven. I'm glad we have each other.
What do those in the world do who have no hope?
This family will be united again. Thank God.
