My cousin, Jayson, died yesterday. He will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved him.
I can’t wrap my head around it.
He was only a month and a half older than me.
He leaves behind a son and daughter, and of course, the rest of it.
I am comforted, and given hope, by Romans 10:13, “for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” I know that just before he was placed in a medically induced coma, he accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as my Aunt’s pastor prayed with him.
I know I will see him again on the glory shore.
In the meantime, though, my heart hurts.
I covet your prayers for my family, and most importantly, for Jayson’s parents, siblings, and children.

Ohhhhh – my prayers are you have – I just finished one, for you – and for his family – and I know that comfort – I NO the comfort that comes from believing that we will see them again – being secure in the gospel. That is the ONLY light at the end of this tunnel. And you know, I haven’t really had a chance to tell you how gracious you were at the conference, and how really glad I am to have met you. God bless and keep you and each and every one of yours, Virginia.
