This morning, I woke to learn that the lovely, joyous Elizabeth Toon, was killed in Hollywood this weekend as she crossed the street after leaving a Birthday party.
I adored Elizabeth, and I can't pray enough that the pain of loss will create a precious place for grace and peace to flood in, in her honor.
A bit of coverage of the incident can be found here and also here; *Dallas Morning News later printed a lovely tribute as well. Pray for the families. Pray for the boyfriend, who is expected to fully recover. And pray that you never miss an opportunity to love and be loved.
The reminders pierce as they penetrate, and suddenly we find ourselves letting go of that which is precious, but not ours.
May we also be faithful unto death, to one day wear a crown of life.
'I have faith. Faith in our wondrous capacity for hope and good, love and trust, healing and forgiveness. Faith in the blessing of our infinite ability to wonder, question, pray, feel, think and learn. I have faith. Faith in the infinite possibilities of the human spirit.'
A dose of brilliance from James Brown, co-host of FOX NFL Sunday
