Tight-Knit Community

I mentioned earlier this week that someone with whom I have some vague connections was killed in a car accident.

I'd forgotten what a small community the Young Life world really is, and I've watched and prayed this week as a wide variety of people I know and know of, spread across the country, have responded to this tragedy.

It's left me wondering what sort of ripple it would make if I were to die suddenly. I've been lonely and isolated lately. Not sure that's a healthy thing, and not entirely sure that I'm ready to come out of that isolation either. My soul still feels pretty bruised. But I'm hoping it will soon be time to emerge.

The obituary for Julian Dabbagh can be found here.
