The horrible tragedy of yesterday’s plane crash has really been weighing on me, especially the newlyweds who were killed.

No doubt there are 50 or so other terrible stories of life cut short among the travelers who died yesterday, but the story of Jon Hooker and Scarlett Parsley has really hit close to home for me. How painful must it be for family and friends who less than a day earlier were joyfully celebrating their marriage? As I told my wife last night when I hugged her, that could just have easily been us on May 21st this year, when we departed for our honeymoon following our wedding.

It is excruciating irony to see two people come together in love, after months of preparations and with support from those that love them, only to lose their lives the very next day. I hope that God is watching over them and comforting their loved ones today.
