Much of the nation watched in stunned silence at the severe, life threatening injury of 24-year-old Damar Hamlin. There was no foul play, just a strange glitch in timing that seems to have caused this young man’s heart to stop. As of this writing, he is in critical condition. Let us pray for the safety and recovery of this young man and for his family and friends. Let us also pray for all who were watching, that we all become wiser, recognizing the seriousness and unpredictability of life.
