A Drug Overdose Funeral

It is with great sensitivity that I write this.

In September 2009, the USA Today reported that an estimated 26,000 deaths occur each year to drug overdoses.

That is a lot of parents, children, grandparents, brothers, sisters, friends and so many others that will grieve the loss of a loved one.

Today, 3 Dimensional Life staff and students will be attending a funeral of a young man who overdosed just last weekend.. Life is so valuable, but to the drug addict, you feel invincible. Death seems fleeting and untouchable.

However, today, we will join a family as they grieve their son's death. Today, the USA Today statistic comes to life in the form of death. Today, we are hoping for less drug overdose funerals to attend and more great success stories like Anthony Hargrove.

Be praying for this young man's family today, and also be praying that today's funeral is startling wake-up for the 3D students.
