Please pray for Eric Mingle. He is a student here at Sam and was in a car accident coming back from his home. He is in critical condition and was life-flighted out to Beaumont. Remember him, and spread the word. What really just emphasized the whole seriousness of the occasion was his best friend and roommate, Chris. He came waltzing into class just like any other day. Dr. Child asked him about Eric... and he didn't know. Nobody had told him. So he left. And Trevor, another guy in our class, is driving Chris to Beaumont to the hospital to see Eric. The look on his face... Well, let's just say we weren't as rambunctious as usual. Sad, sad day. He graduated valedictorian of his class (of, 20, yeah, but still...) and is really an ok guy. He's a cocky baseball player, but he's not so bad. Hopefully, prayerfully, he'll get better. Soon.
>>UPDATE: Ok, according to Jim, a friend of mine, Eric is, in fact, ok. He has a broken arm and some other things wrong, but he's doing good. We heard that he did, however, kill the person in the other car. It was a head-on collision. Eric had fallen asleep at the wheel. We don't know when he'll be back at school, but he seriously needs major prayer to make it through this. He'll have a hard time recovering emotionally if what we heard is truth. Tough day.
