“Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death, is your sting?”

I received a phone call at 3:49pm today from my son, who said, “Dad, we got in an accident. Someone rear ended us really hard.” It was a moment of panic. The phone got passed back and forth and there was confusion. My wife got on the phone and said our daughter was moaning because she hit her head really hard.

We are in the process of moving to Japan this summer to start a new church in Tokyo. There has been so much attack over this. A friend mentioned the possibility of this being the explanation of the accident, especially as it happened just before a key meeting determining the outcome of the new church. I...
