Heavy Heart in Stillwater

As soon as I heard this story, I immediately reflected on the 'other' tragedy at Oklahoma State. The Cowboys are no strangers to tragedy, as nearly eleven years ago they experienced a great tragedy. The Cowboy Basketball team lost two members as well as other staff when their plane was on its way home from a Colorado. Now tonight, the community is again morning another plane crash. This one claimed the lives of the women's basketball coach and one of his assistants. It is hard to imagine the pain of those in Stillwater. The great thing about sports is that it offers a great opportunity to mourn with many people, even those cheering for another team. The football team had a rough night against the Iowa State Cyclones, but their was great mourning in the stadium by the fans. May God Bless the families involved and I hope that the healing process can begin again in Stillwater.
