Nothing. Unless that 21 year old was full of faith and hope.
Andy Himes, 21, died tragically on Sunday August 15, 2010. Yet, his faith continues to inspire all who knew him. One of his favorite psalms reads Bless the Lord my soul, do not forget all the gifts of God. Who pardons all your sins and heals all your ills.
Faith in God doesn't eliminate struggle. That is why, even while remembering the gift of God, we also need constant pardon. For who of us can stand before God? Or who knows his mind?
Andy changed when he realized the importance of God in his life. Not externally. Just in his direction, his purpose, in his vision.
He termed this quote from Ps 103, Mighty Verses: Bless the Lord, my soul; all my being bless his holy name! For he fills your days with good things, your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
