Whaaaat? Surely he didn't do this........unless there was a very valid reason like he was with someone else in a horrible crisis.........other than that what could be as important as being with one of the flock in their desperate time of need.

Because Walt is the Assistant Fire Chief here in our town, we have the scanner going all the time. So we heard the initial call come in. When they dispatched, they said that they had a car vs. semi with a DOA. Next thing we knew they were calling for Life Flight. So we assumed that the person that someone thought was DOA was not. As it turns out, the Life Flight was for the other girl.
About 1/2 hour after Life Flight took that girl to the hospital, the weather started to turn sour here. My 13 year old had gone to the football game at the high school, along with a bunch of his friends (and a couple of mom's). My nephew and another niece were at the high school for the game because they are in the marching band. All of the sudden the tornado siren went off and we heard them saying that their was a funnel cloud spotted SW of the town next to us (about 10 miles away). The police, fire and rescue took everyone at the game into the high school gym. Keith called me from there to let me know what was going on. I told him to sit tight and wait to see what was happening. Meantime, my other sister called me from the football stadium to tell me that she had just watched the funnel cloud pass over the football field, but that it had stayed up in the air, off of the ground.
About 5 minutes later the all clear was issued. And that's when Rin called and told me about Jamie and told me to go to my Mom's to tell her because he just couldn't do it. I had to be the one to tell my mom about my dad when he passed away 14 years ago. And I'll tell you what - this was 10 times harder to do!
Thanks for listening, guys. I appreciate your ears as well as your prayers.

he was not with someone else. But it was late at night and he didn't want to come. Sherri is right. This is not the heart of a true pastor.
But right now, we can't dwell on this. We have to focus our attentions on getting Rin and Jacki and Jenna and all of the rest of us through the next several days and weeks to come.
One of Jamie's friends was at their house tonight. She had some pics on her phone that she emailed to me to put in the DVD for the funeral. We've been sending one line emails back and forth for an hour now. This young lady is hurting just as bad as the rest of us. 
Death is not a good thing. And it's even worse because, as far as I knew, Jamie never knew the Lord. There is no comfort for that. None.

I know that tomorrow is going to come all too soon. And I will need to be rested. So I appreciate all of your prayers. Please continue. But I need to go to bed for now. Good night, all.
