I have to report some sad news. My cousin (second cousin actually) Ashley Abernethy passed away today after battling sinus cancer since May. She was only 22. I ask you to please pray for her mother, Barb, her sister, Kelsey, and the rest of her family. Just last night, Jackson prayed for her during his bedtime prayer. And then Andrew prayed for the family before dinner and Jackson asked, "What happened to Ashley's family?" I said they were sad because Ashley had to go to heaven. I didn't want to just flat out say she died, but he knew it. He said, "So she died?" And I replied yes. He said, "Oh man. That's bad when cousins die." Then tonight I asked him to pray for Ashley's family during his bedtime prayer and he asked if Ashley was in heaven with God and Jesus and asked if she could see them. I told him yes and he said, "Wow that is so cool to be able to see God and Jesus." The faith of a child.
