There was nothing we might do to change that. If he had died every other approach, our loss would have been the identical. Harm and shock are very actual. The distinction is that if he had had a coronary heart assault or was hit by a automobile, in all probability the native paper there, and possibly our native paper would have stated one thing transient. Due to the way in which that God selected to take him, one thing has occurred. Seemingly around the globe (I can not comprehend how far this has gone), individuals are listening to in regards to the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ. Sure, our household can say with certainty that via this God has been so merciful to us. Mercy in methods to quite a few to record. It actually appears that everybody is aware of what occurred, and so many discussions have arisen (I’m positive that I don’t know 1% of them) concerning life, dying, and eternity.  We’re right here for a really brief time. Eternity is endlessly. We’d like to consider that now. Our lives modified in a literal second. If Levi had not identified Jesus Christ as his Savior, he had no time within the final moments, as some maintain out for.”

He labored as a supply driver for the native Dominoes, however cash meant nothing to him. He had logic, and that will usually result in frustration trying round on the world. He was king of random info. Levi had a fascination with VR, and dreamed of having the ability to make Bible tales come alive via VR. He was organising a devoted laptop room for coding and ultimately streaming”
