Jake Faust, a guy that I was in a high school Christian camp with recently died. My sister told me tonight. I saw him a couple years ago after not seeing him for years. Even after all that time we still reminisced about all the fun we had at Agape High and the weird jokes camp jokes like, "sausage".
He died so tragically. He was shot by cops in his car. They had pulled him over and apparently they thought he was reaching for a gun.
I am and was when my sis told me-speechless. In truth, I barely knew Jake but I still feel his loss. It's still a great shock.
The older I get the more people I know from my childhood that have died in their 20's. The older I get the more people I know that have died. The older I get the more I realize how fragile life is. It truly can be taken away in a moment. A fragile string dangles our lives over eternity and it can so easily be broken.
It could have been me just as easily. What seemed like a normal night, a normal commute was actually the last ten minutes of his life.
Lord, be with his family...
