Just went to the funeral home here in Brandon for a young man that was a son of friends of ours. The young Steven Powers was killed while out hunting yesterday near Cartage.
His Father found him after an intense search for 5 hours.
Let me tell you people that you need to hug your kids and thank God that you are not going through what this family is.
Please keep the Power family in your prayers they need it more than ever right now.

The post from Bluegrass several days ago seems appropiate at this time. May the hand of the Lord be on the family in this time of tragedy.

I know this can't replace their son but maybe everyone that reads this will pass it on, and everyone who reads this will pray for that family.. I found this scripture after reading this post...May God Bless that family...."In Troubled Times" Psalm 139:7-8...It tells us God is always with us!!!

I know this can't replace their son but maybe everyone that reads this will pass it on, and everyone who reads this will pray for that family.. I found this scripture after reading this post...May God Bless that family...."In Troubled Times" Psalm 139:7-8...It tells us God is always with us!!!
