Tragedy struck the congregation of Northpointe Baptist in Arlington, Texas this past week as 29-year old Clint Dobson was murdered and another staff member left in critical condition.

Yet despite the tragic loss of this youthful pastor, congregants also celebrated the life of a young man who had made a difference in the lives of many.

I personally mourn with this family and church as they endure the loss of their young leader. But part of me desires to share his story with others as an inspiration of a life well lived. May we all be able to end with days that make such a change both now and  in eternity.
