murder on the first coast
I found out yesterday, as I was about to leave the last class of the day, that murder was committed not far from the school. I recieved an email today from the school saying it was a student, but one of my classmates said it was a former student. He was apparently killed over some drug money by two bums. Now, there is a huge population of transients who live in this general area, so it makes me wonder if we are actually safe here. The day of the murder I was actually in the general area of the crime scene, just about 3 hours before it took place, and although it isn't scary, I am a little more aware of my surroundings now.In other news, I was approached by the college counselor to students attending Good News (the church that I go to) and he asked me to attend to college leaders group on Sunday nights. It's for guys and girls who he sees as potential Christian leaders in the community. I was really flattered by the offer and I told him that I was glad to attend the meetings. I don't know what to expect yet, but I am excited to be a part of something, to help out with other college aged kids in their spiritual lives. I still have many of my own obstacles to remove before I am able to serve Christ in all that I do and say, but I want to work towards that end goal. It is exciting to wake up everyday, read the scriptures, and realize that I am thankful to be alive and to serve Him another day of my life. Please pray that I would continue this path and that I would be able to realize this everyday, and to serve Christ to my fullest potential.
