Well lord today I want to lift up a praise to you. I want to thank you for helping me with getting into Cedarville. I got my acceptance letter today!! That is very nice, but I do have a heavy heart tonight. I have been thinking about my friend Travis who died two years ago. I miss him very much. I can't help but pull out pictures and other memorable things from when we were friends. Travis and I grew up together. We were best friends ever since kindergarten and he would have been graduating with me this spring. I have pictures from birthday parties and from when we went to see WCW (wrestling) in Peoria when we were kids. I remember doing tons of things with him like going fishing and camping out at his grandparents. I miss all of the less than good things we did too like when I would go hang out with him when I was grounded from him or when we took the cans from the back of the VFW to get money to buy worms for fishing. I miss him a lot Lord. He was my best friend and I loved the time I had with him. I just regret one thing. I had him come to church with me a few times and he went on his own or with other friends too, but I feel like 
I should have told him about you lord. I didn't realize it until it was too late. I didn't think about it until I was carrying his casket with all of the other guys. It was rough looking at him laying there icy cold not knowing where he is now. I just wish I could find some comfort in that, but I cant. You say that any man who accepts your son as the one and only savior that we will have eternal life with you, but I don't know if Travis did that. That is why it is rough for me whenever I think about this. All I have is memories and dreams that someday I will get to see him again in heaven, but until then lord all I can say is I will thank you for showing me something through Travis. LIFE IS SHORT. I don't have time to mess around I need to live EVERY day for you. It makes me cry to this day thinking about what I should have told him, but I don't have to let it happen again. So lord work through me to spread your great word to everyone. Speak lord your servant is listening.
