Luke Edward Hausmann
I woke up Friday morning of last week with some shocking news in an e-mail from God’s Mountain Camp. Luke Edward Hausmann, the son of David and Karen Hausmann, met with his savior, leaving this temporary life behind.
Luke, with three of his seven siblings, Anna (20), Ethan (19), and Julia (16), were traveling home from visiting family in Waco, TX.
A Waco news website had this to say:

(January 11, 2008)—The accident happened just before 10:00pm Thursday, on Interstate 35 in Bellmead near Loop 340.Police say two tires from the wheels of a south-bound 18-wheeler trailer came off of the rig and crossed the median. One of the tires struck a north-bound Honda Accord. The impact apparently had enough force to cut the passenger compartment of the vehicle in half.The driver of the Honda, 23-year-old Luke Hausmann, of Atchison, Kansas, was pronounced dead at the scene.Three other passengers, ages 16, 19 and 20, were all taken to a local hospital. One of the passengers is still listed in critical condition.DPS closed the interstate, diverting all traffic to the access roads while emergency crews worked to clear the wreckage. Other details were not immediately available.
I read on another website that Luke was a kind, quiet young man, who was dedicated to serving the Lord overseas. He made many extended missions trips to Cambodia, Thailand, and other places. The Petsch family, who’s family bible quizzes with the Hausmann family, remembers Luke most when he was at Camp walking his sisters arm in arm up the hill at God’s Mountain, this was a picture of his gentle spirit.
I have known David Luke’s father for years, he substituted for me in high school years ago and I remember his witness before I was a believer in my classroom. Although I did not know Luke well he seem to have his father’s heart and spirit about him.
When I heard this news, I was shaken into consciousness of the brittleness of life.
We always seem to think we’ll have time for others, to forgive, or to tell about Christ, to Love God, to Love our neighbors, and in a moment it’s gone.

Don’t wait.
God has granted you more time in this life to know Him, and to make Him Lord!
What are you waiting for?
Also please continue to pray for the Hausmann Family.
