This morning I received one of those phone calls.  One from a dear friend telling me that one of our own has passed away.  I last saw Julie at the Rising Sun Youth Group reunion a few short months ago.  I sat next to her and we caught up on each others lives.  She said a couple of things in conversation that I wanted to talk to her more about.  A couple of times I was going to make an effort to contact her so she could finish her thoughts.  I didn’t do it.  Now she is gone.  Life is short and precious!
