Neal got the opportunity to go and play golf at Chateau Elan this past Saturday with some fellow GE workers. I think we found a new past-time! We'll keep you posted as the game unfolds!
On Sunday, I got a call from my old friend from high school, Janean. She told me that one of the guys we graduated with was killed in a motorcycle accident just a few hours prior. Kevin Mahurin was 22 years old. His mother, Karen Mahurin is the county commissioner. His funeral was today, July 16. At the funeral, there were several of the kids that graduated back in 2003. We all were remembering the life and memories that we shared with Kevin... school plays, haunted corn mazes, birthday parties, and so many more. It is a sobering reminder of how fleeting this life is. May we all examine our own lives and hearts to insure that they line up with the word of God and live lives well pleasing to him.

I know your life on earth was troubled
You were no stranger to the rain
Go rest high on that mountain
Son your work on earth is done
Go to heaven a-shoutin'
Love for the Father and the Son
Oh how we cried that day you left us
And gathered 'round your grave to grieve
Wish I could see the angel's faces
When they hear your sweet voice sing

I know your life on earth was troubled
And only you could know the pain
You weren't afraid to face the devilYou were no stranger to the rain
Go rest high on that mountain
Son your work on earth is done
Go to heaven a-shoutin'
Love for the Father and the Son
Oh how we cried that day you left us
And gathered 'round your grave to grieve
Wish I could see the angel's faces
When they hear your sweet voice sing
