Prayer is an awesome thing.

What a night. So I go to IV, and it was fun. We had a humor night and everything was out of order. Then the men had a thing going on and we watched Game of Death (the bad 70's version, not the one they just made the way Bruce Lee intended). So we are watching Game of Death basically making fun of the movie when someone gets a call on their cell saying that there are fire trucks in front of the New Halls. So we decided to pray for them. While we were praying it was confirmed that the TKE house had a fire and someone had to go to the hospital. We decided as a group to walk over there and pray in front of TKE and pray for the guys over there. When we got there there were fire trucks in front of the place. The house wasn't damaged much, I couldn't see any fire or smoke or anything. But there were people crying and in a state of shock and disbelief. We gathered around a group of TKEs and just comforted them and prayed for them, and it was an awesome thing. They confided in God to help them as a brotherhood to get through this tragedy. Afterwords we prayed some more and it was just an undescribable feeling I had. I don't know how to explain it. On one hand, I'm in shock about what happened, on the other I'm glad that we were there for them and that something good will come out of this situation. It was cool - we brothers in Christ were praying for the brothers of TKE. I hope everyone there is OK, but since we are such a small campus we are going to be affected by this for a while.

Anyways, whoever reads this, whether or not you read this, say a prayer for Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity. They are hurting and they need all the help they can get right now. I know what we did helped give some of those guys at least a little comfort in this confusing time.
