Saturday and the Telephone

I spoke to "Knuckles" on the telephone today who told me that when he last saw Al, he just"wants to be used by God in any way He chooses." This accident has brough so many together, people that have never met before, and those that haven't spoken for years. When, in our own selfishness we ask 'why?" we can look to the mending and unifying of other lives that Al has touched.

Al's close co-worker called me. This man shared the story of the accident from his eyes. It is a scary thing, to re-live a tragedy that puts you at a ring-side seat. He was right behind Al. He yelled as the scene unfolded in front of him. He held Al in his arms, attempting to restrain him as he wanted to get up. He took some of Al's blood home with him on his clothes. This man is still shaken by this event. We need to remember him in our prayers as well. We pray for his comfort as this event runs over and over in his mind. Being there for Al, at this important time of need, was all in God's plan.
