You Will Be Missed Carl Renaldi

Yesterday, Sunday, March 4th, 2007, Carl Renaldi and his wife Deb were in a car accident. Deb is in the hospital with a broken pelvis, and God saw it fit to take Carl Home. Carl will be missed by his wife, his three kids, the rest of their familes, and everyone at Great Lakes.
During times like this, I think it is human nature to ask God, Why? It isn't that we need to know the answer, but we would like to. I will end this post with lyrics from a song by Casting Crowns, I'll Praise You in this Storm.

I was sure by now
God You would have reached down
And wiped our tears away
And stepped in and saved the day
Once again, I say Amen, and it is still raining

As the thunder rolls
I barely hear you whisper through the rain
I'm with you
As your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away

I'll Praise you in this storm
And I will lift my hands
You are who you are
No matter where I am
And every tear I've cried
You hold in your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will Praise You in this storm

I remember when
I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry
You raised me up again
My strength is almost gone
How can I carry on
If I can't find you

I lift my eyes into the hills
Where does my help come from
My help comes from the Lord
The maker of heaven and earth
