Understanding Why...

Today was a beautiful day. We slept in late and were greeted by my dear friend, Heather, to head to lunch and then the park again. We had a wonderful day. The sun was shining, the birds flying and the kids laughing. After all the fun, we headed to Target to do a quick shopping. It was at Target that we received the call. It was a call that really makes you question how this could be God's plan. The call was to tell us that one of my law partners was killed with her husband at 9 a.m. in a plane crash. Her name has not been publicly released, but her body was recovered almost immediately after the plane crashed into the pond. It is too hard to understand how someone could be excited about a trip to the races, all dressed up for a fun day, and then their life simply ends. How can that make sense and be the "plan?" How many things did they want to do before the died, which were all taken away in an instant? I cannot even comprehend the news, but I am certainly praying that their fear was minimal and their death instant.
