Live your Life

{picture from the burial}


What an incredible weekend. I had the great priviledge of attending a memorial for Justin Stineman on Saturday. He passed away after a good and hard fight with cancer. He was 32. He leaves behind his wife, Kelcy and his daugher, Leah.

Honestly, I didn't know Justin all that well. After the service, I wish I had. He was an amazing man-donating a lot of time to the Waverly fire department, and a passionate sports spectator. Stories of his friendship were lovingly told. The husker fight song was played on upon his exit of the church. Firefighers lifted him to his last flight. It was heartfelt. It was real. It was deep and it hit me hard.

I pray for Kelcy & Leah. I know they will be okay, but they don't feel that way now.

It makes you realize how important your days here are earth really are.

Live well & live with honor.

Justin will be missed.
