Binky the Web-Elf, longtime webmaster of CaNN, lost his mother to a car accident today - not only Mother’s Day, but her birthday as well. Please post your prayers and condolences here.

Binky, I’m stunned to the point of being speechless. Rest assured you and your family will be in my prayers and the prayers of thousands of Stand Firm readers tonight and in the days ahead.

Speechless, indeed.  How…how awful.  I’m so sorry, Binky.  Very, very sorry.  Take care.

amen. Desperately sad and a time to remind ourselves that God oversees everything and is the only one for us to turn to.

Job 1:20 Then Job arose and tore his robe and shaved his head and fell on the ground and worshiped. 21 And he said, “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.”

May Binks and all the Binklings know the great comfort of blessing the name of the LORD at this difficult time.

I am so sorry. 

What a bitter and hard loss, made worse by the shock.

I hope that those who are injured will recover.

May you be especially aware of the strong and sure presence of Jesus, today and in the weeks to come.

Binky,

May she rest in peace, and rise in Glory.  Surely, she is now looking upon the legacy she left in terms of her family, and is smiling with a very Christian pride.

Although we have never met, my condolences to you and your family! I lift you all up in prayer for God’s peace which passes all human understanding to be with you and His courage to know that your mother is in a far better place at the table with our Lord having a banquet & and party that we can only hope to attend one day ourselves! I am sure she is looking down upon you and your family with love and guidance with our Lord. With many prayers and blessings…A Daughter of the King!
