Today I thank God for life…for family…for sustenance…
Today would have been the 21st birthday of a dear friend of mine and my family’s who died in a motorcycle accident while in Arizona at a motorcycle mechanics school. Thisi tragedy rocked the small town of Wilton Iowa where I’m from. He was involved in just about every sport you could be in and extremely talented. People were drawn to him when he walked into a room. He impacted a lot of people in his life. It is interesting to see his Facebook(which obviously still exists cause nobody can get into it) but tons of people wrote him a birthday wish and said a few words. Moving. I had the privilege of mentoring Nic along with my little bro. We spent time on the water wakeboarding, we snowboarded together, and I got to take him to Young Life Camp as a counselor. This is where he decided he wanted to surrender his life to Jesus.
He was too young, too much potential to be stripped of a future.
Nic, I love you and miss you.
savor your moments you have here. Be grateful for your days, your family, and friends. So today, I thank God for the gift of life.
