Thank you Deborah for your comments. I agree about never taking a day for granted. Each day is a gift. None of us have the promise tomorrow. Blessings, Randy

Hi Burt, Thank you for your kinds and wise comments and prayers. I believe the decision to start weekly community prayer gatherings on the morning before Alana died is confirmation from God about what you share. Blessings, Randy

Randy,
We’ll be praying! Our hearts go out to the Hester family in this tragic event, to all the students who will be affected by this untimely death,and to the entire community of Culpeper. God can use the vigil even tonight to bring triumph out of tragedy. We’re also praying for Rod’s nephew.
God is going to give you a special opportunity to be used of him during this tender time in your community. God bless!

Hi David, Thank you for your comment and prayers. I didn’t realize Lee Anne had been a coach for Alana. I expect a lot of people to come to tonight’s prayer vigil. Blessings, Randy

I feel compelled to write and send prayers of comfort and mercy to both families of the children that were lost, let us never take one day for granted and remember that it is in Him alone that we find rest and peace, when we experience tribulations, that serve to draw us closer to Him.

Hi Rod, Thank you for your prayers. I’m so sorry to hear about Nathaniel’s accident today. May the LORD send his angels to watch over him. Keep me abreast of what happens with him. Blessings, Randy

Our prayers at Persecution Project Foundation are going up for Alana’s family and friends, as well as for Randy & Lee Anne. May God wrap His arms around us all and grant us comfort and peace.

Randy you are so right that our hearts are broken. But to make it even harder on Randy and Lee Anne at the one year anniversary of Kelsey’s death, is that Lee Anne was Alana’s coach in the past. This will be hard on her adn the Orndorff family.

Thanks for this post Randy,
We will be praying for the family of Alana Hester. Such a tragedy for a family to go through. We also got news that my nephew Nathanial in Delaware got his legs caught in an auger at work today and was life-flighted to Baltimore’s trauma center. We don’t know all of the details yet but please keep him in your prayers.
