It’s ‘that time of year’. I know that’s an odd statement; but, it’s final-exams time…it’s the end of an ‘era’ time when people graduate and move forward. Some find the thought too daunting.

While tragic that people are so weighted by life that this is their exit strategy, it’s also quite common.

I’m sure there’s a story behind the story, should people be willing to speak the truth.

While we’re shedding light on this topic, we lose 22 soldiers a day to suicide; but, that’s hardly mentioned. More than 8K people a year, equaling more than 80K per decade, deem the dark side of military life too unbearable to keep going on in this human realm.

Could meds be at the root; with prescribed cures for depression causing a darkness far worse?

Obviously, and of course, deemed trite, I’m sorry for the loss of this bright light. But, most importantly, God loves His children. He knew this would be this lad’s last day on earth. In the mystery of all the turmoil He, indeed, has a plan.

Prayers for all.

Peace.
