Life comes at you fast....

I know it's been FOREVER since I have written a blog and tonight will probably be short, but like the title says, life comes at you fast.  Are you ready?

This morning I learned that a dear friend of mine (Holly) lost her 7 year old niece yesterday to a tragic car accident.  I haven't been able to shake this.  I can not even fathom the thought of losing Emme, much less one of my 11 nieces or nephews.  My heart has been weary all day for this family who lost their Mom/Grandmother (Holly's Mom) just a few years ago to cancer.  Sometimes, life just doesn't make sense.

Only a few minutes ago, I read an update from a friend of ours from Texas who has been battling not 1, but 2 forms of cancer this past year.  He lost his voice, sense of taste, part of his tongue, and the list continues.  Friday he went in for a PET Scan to determine if the treatments had work.  To God be the glory, his answer came today and he is free of cancer!

I know this blog has been short, but I just had to share my thoughts tonight.  Just like the commercial says, "Life comes at you fast, are you ready?"  It's ringing in my ear tonight.  Until then...
