Pray for Luke
A very, very good friend of mine, Luke Schmitz, is stationed in Iraq and recently lost his leg. By recently, I mean I just found out. Supposedly, his hummer got hit with a carbomb and they got out running when he stepped on a land mine. I don't know all the details, but everyone is pretty shaken up by it. He should be getting out of surgery soon, and then he'll be headed to Germany for a little bit and then back home.
Pray for him if you do that sort of thing, or just keep him in mind if you don't. Also, his girlfriend, Tina, is pretty shaken up about it, as are his family and friends (me included). This guy is one of the best you'll find out there. Though as nails, a big joker, and just an all around good guy.
