God was right there with them. This is a fallen world and bad things happen. That is why we need God. I am a friend of the man who died, and I am comforted to know exactly where his soul is now.

[JOE]

Every good and perfect gift comes from God! God's Word plainly tells us that the enemy of our soul, the devil is a destroyer, liar and deciever! It is in the hard times, when you find God the one who is more than enough. Logic??? If I am wrong then I have lived and enjoyed a life of peace and faith! If your "logic" is wrong, eternity will be long time my friend!

Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me: your rod and staff they comfort me. Psalm 23

The righteous perish, and no one ponders it in his heart; devout men are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil. Isaiah 57:1

These were amazing young men and women who lived their lives sold out to serving the God that they love so very much. Bad things happen to both those who serve them and those who don't. Looking at the van, you have to see that it is a miracle that there were as many survivors as there are. Logical thinker, I am so sorry that you are so cold and cynical. I will pray for you.

[Debbie]

Thank you Jackie. You are right on with your comments and perspective because it is the TRUTH. These young men and women dedicated their lives to the Lord and I have the honor of serving with them. They are, and were,remarkable people. NLWC is a church that reaches out to the community as well as around the world to touch the lives of hurting and needing people. This group of kids sacrifice on a daily basis for others and are responsible. We are grateful and blessed to know they are not suffering but enjoying ETERNAL PEACE AND JOY.

Need a proofreader? I think the word you're after is "grisly," not "grizzly."

[Janet]

I don't care what the cause or results of this crash are, my heart goes out to the parents of those killed. No parent should ever have to bury one of their children - never.

[DEZ]

These are wonderful young adults that reach out to the community and this loss will be felt for a very long time to come. We know not why God has called these young souls home but know that they are in a much better place than us here on earth. May God Bless and comfort each and everyone of the individuals that were involved along with the families. I am truly Blessed to be a part of this church. With Love.

[Psalm 23]

The peace and comfort comes from knowing these young men and women died serving the Lord unlike many of our young people today who eternally destroy their lives living away from the will of God. For me to live is Christ and to die is gain.

The devil cannot do anything without God's permission. What the devil plans for bad, God turns into something good. Once again, our nation has come to their knees again and more and more people are coming to Christ. Yes, our Lord Jesus Christ knows everything, past, present, future. Try Jesus Christ, get blessed, have eternal salvation.

This is a terrible tragedy, I pray for all the families that have lost their loved one's.

Keep the Faith Jesus wanted them home with him and they are internally with their Father, Lord Jesus Christ.

[Heather]

logicalthinker: God was there. Bringing comfort to those who need it and guiding the ones home that were meant to be with Him. You have to understand that for a Christian death is NOT the end of our story, it is a continuation of it.

Exactly, Good will always out prevail over evil. Lord is Love!

What do you mean where is God? what happened to those kids was very tragic. I am a member of that church. God never leaves us we leave him & those kids where warriors of God doing his work. They have helped our community so much it is un believable. Not just 1 died there are 2 who passed on to be with God.I will pray for you and may God Bless you and keep you in yours ways. Until you accept Jesus Christ into your heart, I guess you'll never know what it is like to lose a family memeber from Chruch. AMEN!!!!!

GOD BLESS YOU

Heather was exactly right, "You have to understand that for a Christian death is NOT the end of our story, it is a continuation of it."

Yes, there is a time of sorrow and grief but joy comes in the morning! We are sad but these kids are dancing on streets of gold in Heaven.

[Wilkinson Family]

You guys are in our prayers. We have a daughter in Masters down here in Alabama. May God bless and comfort you in the tragic time..

[Coleen]

Dont be ignorant logical thinker. Good people die, bad people die. Where we go when we die is another story. HMMMMMM wonder where you are going.
