Withering Grass... Fading Flowers...



Life is short.


Very short.

We were drastically reminded of that yesterday when we found out that Issoufou, our friend, a former family employee and most recently working for the mission as a guard, had died suddenly in the night, maybe of complications due to meningitis. He leaves behind a young wife and baby.


A young man... a loving family... strong... as our kids like to say, "very buff..." friendly and well-liked by many, many people... capable... with a hodgepodge of skills in several areas... a decent job with a reliable and steady source of income... a decent home... connections with people who might have been able to help him...





But no guarantee that any of that would ensure another day...

He didn't know Jesus...
