As you likely have already heard, last night four students and one faculty member from Taylor University were killed in a tragic semi-truck and van accident.
My wife and I are faculty members at Taylor. We had connections to two of the students who were killed. Thank you for your prayers for the whole Taylor community. We are deeply saddened by the loss.
At the moment, I am in Fairview, Pennsylvania because my mother-in-law, Nancy Steinfield, passed away suddenly and her funeral was yesterday. Her obituary is here. So we are grieving because of that and also grieving in absentia for the Taylor tragedy. Amy and I will return to Taylor on Saturday or Sunday.
There are a number of links below to find out more about the tragedy from Taylor’s website and local news media.

Oh wow… I’ll be praying for your family Andy, and for your school.
Andy – I’m so sorry to hear of your loss… yours and Amy’s and the entire Taylor community. Although this occured more than a week ago, know that I’m talking to our Dad on your behalf.
