The Valley of Sorrow

Right now, it seems that it is a valley of sorrow and depression for a lot of folks that I know. The number of notices on the church prayer list coming through of deaths, cancer, serious illness, and all that is growing again. A friend of mine's grandmother died a few days ago, and her mother was just robbed at machine-gun point last night. These kinds of incidents lead me to wonder what the Lord has in mind. It's a scary time these days. But who knows what will be next.

The only thing that I know is that God will be there and help us all through (Ps. 23). We may not all realize he's there, but in the end he's there.
