Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac whom thou lovest and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of Gen 22:2 Whenever I first wrote this scripture, I thought of my own two children. Little did I know that soon I would lose one of my students in my classroom. This last week a precious young man by the name of Stephan Bryan died unexpectedly. He had stomach pains since Tuesday and had gone to the Dr. The Dr. did blood work and saw that his white blood count was elevated. He called him back and ordered an MRI and he had surgery Thursday night for a ruptured appendix. He passed away Saturday morning at 3.Stephan was a model student. He wanted all his work to be perfect and was usually the one to turn in his work last. He always worked quietly and did what was expected of him. Sadly, he lost his daddy in 2002 and I feel so sad for his mom right now. To lose two people so closely together and she has two elderly parents also. If you read this, please pray for my classroom and myself. I've lost students before, but never while they were in my class.
