Our family is mourning the loss of a friend this week. One of J's good buddies was killed after a tornado directly hit and destroyed the Little Sioux Boy Scout camp. We're already missing Sam. He is the kind of young man that you are happy your son has as a friend. J and Sam have sung together in the homeschool choir for several years, from a time when there were very few boys singing. They have played on several basketball teams together, and this spring, they have been on the same baseball team. Our confidence is that Sam loved the Lord, and so, even in the midst of weeping, we can rejoice.
And, we're proud of another friend who was at the camp that night. We rejoiced when we received word that he was safe on Wednesday night, and we're thankful that he's able to go to the next camp.
"Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep." Romans 12:15

I'm so sorry. I'd read about this awful tragedy, and was so sad, especially as the mom of a Boy Scout. It is really hard to understand these things this side of heaven.
