today was dull and rainy. i ate a cookie and it did not cheer me up. there is a lot of sadness in the world, sometimes it's easy to forget but other times it's all you can think about. hurting people, sick people, troubled people- so many people. it's amazing the impact people have on one another. even if you're not that close to someone you can still feel such empathy and hurt for them. when you know that someone does not have long to live you know they will leave behind a whole world of people who care for them, and love them and will miss them incredibly. and even if you know they are going to a better place, which is a joyful thing, you can't help but feel sad.
our church officer graeme is in intensive care just now, and is not expected to live much longer. he is a wonderful man and has served in our church for years. he just overcame a long battle with cancer, and now has a critical lung infection which has left him struggling for life. please pray for him and his family, especially in the next few days.
