I'm sad today

My grandma's health is deteriorating rapidly. A good friend called this morning and said his wife left him. A friend and his wife are meeting with a surgical team today to decide how to treat her severe and frequent seizures. A teen is concerned about a friend who is cutting herself. News about the Terri Schiavo case cannot be avoided. A friend is grieving the death of one of her twin babies. Over 1000 were killed yesterday from an earthquake in the region already devastated by a recent tsunami.

People are hurting.

And sadly, the world offers very little hope.

True hope can be found from only one source: Jesus Christ. If the church does not actively share that hope, who will?
