I received this e-mail this morning from the mother of one of my former youth students that goes to University Baptist Church in Waco, TX. The church has a big impact on the students at Baylor University. My favorite worship leader, David Crowder is the worship leader at UBC.
"Jason, Please pray for Shea. He witnessed his pastor at UBC get
electrocuted during a baptism ceremony at church this morning. Shea was and
is very close to his church and the staff. Kyle was baptizing someone this
morning at church and screamed for help. They rushed him to the hospital
and Shea just got back for there and Kyle died. He has twin baby boys and a
three year old girl. Kyle was 32. Thank you Jason, you mean the world to
Shea. Shelley"
This is such a bizarre tragedy. Keep these folks in your prayers!

Shea told me that he was listening to Crowder's latest album and the song "Come Awake" has taken on a whole new meaning for him. As I'm listening to it right now, I'm shook by it's significance in this moment for my friend Shea and the people of his church. Here are the lyrics:
Are we left here on our own?
Can you feel when your last breath is gone?
Night is waiting heavy now
Be quite and wait for a voice that will say
Come awake
From sleep, arise
You were dead
You’ve come alive
Wake up wake up
Open your eyes
Climb from your grave
Into the light
Bring us back to life
You are not the only one
Who feels like the only one
Night soon will be lifted friend
Just be quite and wait for the voice that will say
Come awake
From sleep, arise
You were dead
You’ve come alive
Wake up wake up
Open your eyes
Climb from your grave
Into the light
Bring us back to life
Rise, rise, rise, rise, rise
Rise, rise, rise, rise….
Shine, shine, Oh shine
We will shine
We will rise
We will shine, shine, shine
What a tragedy. Shea certainly needs our prayers as do all those impacted by this event. Does anyone know about the person who was being baptised? How could this happen? Just another instance of we don't know about tomorrow, but we must be ready today!
