Please pray this week for our friends, Summer and Oliver and for their family. Summer's cousin Eric was killed in Afghanistan last week and his family is gathered in Kentucky making preparations for his burial. Eric was a Marine on his third tour of duty overseas; he was also a believer, and so there is comfort in the knowledge that he is surely now safe and well. But the grief is immense for those he has left behind.

There is a news article posted here and a video clip here regarding Eric. There is also a beautiful photo of him on Summer's blog, holding his nephew and niece in his arms. One day, they will be reunited.
