I had taken several days off from writing this journal...
…in order to do other things like catching up on my mail. It's also been a time for some rest.
On Friday, March 29th, it was definitely a "Good Friday." For I was both blessed and privileged to have a visit with Darrell Scott. He lost his beloved daughter, Rachel, in the Columbine High School shooting rampage which occurred on April 20, 1999.
Darrell came with two other men, John and Danny. They travel all over sharing the Gospel and telling people that God cares about them. Darrell also shares about his daughter, her life, and her message of kindness and compassion. For this was the code Rachel Joy Scott lived by as a faithful witness for Jesus Christ. And even after her death, thanks to the efforts of her family, Rachel's life and message live on touching hearts and giving hope.
We all prayed together and had a warm time of fellowship. I told Darrell that I felt so unworthy to even meet with him. Yet once again, God has shown His power and sovereignty by bringing he and I together. The Lord has broken down the walls between me, a murderer and convicted felon, and a man who lost his daughter to gun violence.
Darrell Scott has a vision for discipling Christian teenagers to impact this world with God's love. I told him that I think this idea is wonderful. I know that his plans and dreams will come to fruition because we serve a big God. "For with God nothing shall be impossible" (Luke 1:37).
