Faith & Sports: Remembering Sean Taylor

"I have his picture up just to remind me of what's important." -- Ed Reed (Safety for the Baltimore Ravens)

5 years ago today, Sean Taylor (Safety for the Washington Redskins) was shot in his home in Florida and died at the hospital shortly after. Moses prayed in the Psalms that the Lord would, "teach us to number our days, that we may get a heart of wisdom" (Psalm 90:12). No one likes to think about death, but remembering how fragile our short lives are creates in us a dependence on God and makes us cling to the Savior, who not only saved us from sin & death (John 11:25), but has also given us an abundant life with Him for eternity (John 10:10, John 3:16).

Watch this video of his friends reminiscing about Sean and hopefully pray and weep with them, while overflowing with thanksgiving to a God that gives us life through his Son's life, death, and resurrection.

Please pray for Sean's family, teammates, and friends that they would know the love of Christ and that God is good even in the deepest suffering.
