Please pray for my son's best friend's family and my son, as his friend, a special forces marine was killed Friday in a training exercise preparing for deployment to Iraq. He was at Qauntico Marine Base. Jeff's family was told that he was killed in a Hum-V accident during training. My son and Jeff were best friends since the age of 10 and Ben is devastated. I was able to get Ben a flight back from Africa and will be picking him up in DC at 6 AM tomorrow morning. Jeff is from a wonderful Christian home and we attended church with his family for several years. Please pray for his family. Jeff was one of our kids when my wife and I were youth pastors. He was a wonderful young man who was a patriot and grateful for the opportunity to serve his country as a marine. There are not really any words that can describe the grief that Jeff's family and friends are experiencing right now. Only the Lord can comfort them. Also Jeff was engaged to be married to his high school sweet heart and she needs much prayer also.

Thanks for your prayers!
