Don't Sweat The Technique...

ON A PERSONAL NOTE


April 22, 2007 | Tags: none
Jared Barrows, a friend of mine, passed away last night after succumbing to injuries sustained during a fight about a week ago.  He was only 23. I dont know what would possess someone to take a life with his bare hands..especially someone as caring as Jared.... Its made me start to think about and evaluate how I treat the people in my life....how important it is to treat each encounter like it will be your last.  Learn the value of human life before its too late.

Im kind of at a loss for words...

So I guess what Im asking you to do is just take a moment to evaluate your own life and what role others play in it.  Life is too unpredictable to not cherish every second of it with those you love.

Please pray to whatever God you believe in that Jared's family and friends can find strength, comfort, and peace during this time of grief.

Thanks.

R.I.P Jared, you'll be missed more than you know.
