Words
Russ has never felt "good enough". Not for his parents who are incarcerated, or even the kids at school. At least that's what he thinks, and for him, perception is reality. He feels as if he doesn't have a friend in the world except his grandma Joyce.
But Grandma Joyce wants Russ to reach out and make some friends, so she pushes him to attend camp with students from the local church. However, the youth group "clique" is too tough to break into and keeps Russ at a distance because of his unusual appearance and weird personality. The whispered insults and cut-downs don't help either.
Jason, the youth pastor reaches out to Russ but to no avail, and the "church kids" continue ostracizing Russ only adding to his devastation when he receives word that his Grandma has suddenly passed away.
Overwhelmed by his loss and loneliness, Russ wants nothing to do with Jesus Christ and decides that the best escape from the pain is to end his own life. If only he had known that he was loved. If only someone had embraced him or told him how much God loved him. His rejection of the free gift of salvation catapults him into eternity and a place that he never would have dreamed.
Words are powerful and affect the lives of individuals deeply and can easily be a prescription for tragedy.

On a chilly night in October, she was crowned queen to thunderous applause. The next day she learned that her tumor had doubled in size, and without a miraculous healing from God, her time left here was short. Hannah believed until her last breath on earth and first in Heaven that God was going to heal her. On November 9, 2006, in the presence of her family and a home filled with friends, He did. He healed her wholly and completely, as our Homecoming Queen went home to eternity to be with her King!
