Sad Drive Home

Tonight our friends, the Jacksons, called and asked us to help them move. We went out and helped them make one trip. They are still working to finish their house so we could only bring over enough things to fill one of the rooms. With their two trucks and our big green one we made it all in one trip.

On our way home it was very rainy and foggy. Jason almost hit a drunk guy that was walking in the middle of road. We praise the Lord that we were able to advert this accident. As we were coming back into Tegucigalpa we saw a lot of police lights flashing in front of a school. As we got nearer we saw why. There was a young man dead in the middle of the street. We don't know if it was a student or just someone who had tried to cross the street at the wrong time. It made me think of the sadness of the situation. The area we passed through does not have a good church nearby. They only have the Jehovah's Witnesses and Catholics. Imagine this young man coming home from school not knowing that he would be stepping out into an eternity, most likely without Christ.
How easily we get bogged down by the every day life of living in Honduras and work in our church. At time it is sad to say that we can forget why we are here, and that is to see lost souls come to the Saviour. My prayer is that we will not soon forget that every person we see is one day going to be in eternity. We may be the deciding factor in where that eternity will be spent, Heaven or Hell.
