R.I.P. (For real this time)

So I realized today that my post yesterday may have been somewhat callous as it was entitled R.I.P. and was a joke about my car dying, when, in fact, there was a tragic school shooting in Ohio yesterday in which 3 kids, as of now, were killed.

So, I just wanted to take this time to offer my condolences to the families of those who were killed, and say that I am praying for them, for all of the students at the school, and for the student who comitted the shooting, as well as his family.

I may never understand why things like this happen, and it is so tragic when it does, but regardless of whetehr or not we understand the darkness in this world, I know that there is a light that pierces through the thickest darkness, that light is Jesus. He is hope, peace, comfort, and salvation when everything else is falling away.

R.I.P.

On February 24th, at approximately 21:20, HX passed from this life. A last ditch effort to save him on the afternoon of February 25th proved unsuccesful. He was 12 years old. He is survived by Hybrid. During his life, HX was a great car. He provided transportation for many people to and from work, church, movies, putt putt, dates, restaurants, and much more. He transported concrete, sod, furniture, clothing, wood, presents, books, and more. He was ridden in by babies, children, teenagers, young adults, adults, and seniors. Unfortunately, during the course of his life he experienced several accidents, which caused permanent damage and scarred his appearance. As a result of these accidents, he received life ending injuries, which, while allowing him to live and function for several more years, eventually took his life. He will be missed.

(My 2000 Honda Civic HX finally died on Friday. The transmission went out. I will now be looking for a new car, but for now I am driving my mom's baby blue bug.)
