I still can’t recall what I was doing on June 3, 2002.

That was the day that Justin Sullivan was killed in a freak accident on Interstate 44.

Sullivan, you may remember, was a star baseball player at Yukon High School. He was named the state player of the year the day before he died. Massive tires on a semi-truck broke loose, bounded across the median and crushed Sullivan’s SUV.Five years later, I met a youth pastor named Chris Wall. He had been Justin’s youth pastor at Council Road Baptist Church, and he had written a book called “A Life Worth Following” about Justin.
