The Club

No one wants to be a member of the club that I belong to. It's exclusive. There aren't many that carry a membership card. In fact if you do have one, you'd rather give it away or burn it. Left in your pocket, you think about it all the time. Sometimes, it burns a hole through your pants. Other times, you just know it's there. People don't like to talk about this club very often. It's very painful and sad. Until someone you know gains membership. Then it screams like hell at you to pick it up and wave it around. Knowing that someone else has to be a member of this club can drop you to your knees in mere seconds. You begin to remember your own initiation into "The Club." My heart mourns with the Jensen family as they are about to lose a husband, father, brother, friend, and son to cancer. Hopefully my membership in this club will help this small family through the hurdles that they are about to face. My thoughts and prayers go out to this young family with 3 little kids who are about to lose their Dad. Friends, pray for this family tonight. Hug each other a little tighter and remember that this life is short and we will all be together again someday...
