Luke 21: 5-19 hear we read about the coming of the end - I write this this morning with a heavy heart.
Yesterday afternoon my brother-in-law died of brain injuries suffered from a dog attack. What difference will it make to any of us about the last days when we do not know when we will be called home. It can happen in heartbeat. Dr Bill Deneke had retired a couple of years ago from his practice in Pine Bluff, Ark.
He was walking his dog, as he usually did, when he was attacked by a pit bull that knocked him to the pavement, striking his head and cracking his skull. He was rushed to the hospital, underwent surgery and passed away yesterday.
While we grieve this loss it makes it so apparent to me that we have to make sure that we are ready to go home at all times. Read the scriptures, pray intercessory prayers for others and pray for yourself. Be helpful to those in need whether it be for food, clothing, medical or shelter because when we do that for those in need - we are doing it for Christ.
I ask for your prayers for my sister and her family and all of our family as we deal with this tragic lose.
May our God keep each of you safe and protect you always from such tragedy and lose.

Why has there been no mention of Dr Deneke of Pine Bluff being killed in a Pit Bull attack. Does someone important own the dog?
