“Lord, have mercy” is a declaration of humility and an expression of need. It acknowledges that people are desperate for what only God can give. Our prayers are with all that are touched by this tragedy.

Why post a story like this? Because we need to be aware that our Pastors may be hurting and our children and friends may be also hurting and we do not know it. We mourn at the passing of Pastor David Baker Sr. Our hearts hurt. Suicide is a growing problem in America.
