A Waste of a Life

Just got the news: a cousin of my wife's passed away last night from a drug overdose. Wow. Unexpected? No, not really.

Sad story of a young guy at 13 who started messing with the bottle, moved on to pot, then onto hardcore stuff. All the while Danny thought he had it under control, but I guess in the long run, it really controlled him. Funny how we start doing stuff that we shouldn't and think it's ok, and then we look back years later and wonder how we got in this mess. Danny leaves a grieving family, heartbroken and shocked. Please, if you need help, get it. Don't wait thinking you've always got tomorrow... Cry out to Jesus for help.
