Texas teen drowns in Sherando Lake

Our prayers and thoughts go out to the family of 19-year-old Jacob Andrew Davis from Spring, Texas, who drowned in Sherando Lake in southern Augusta County on Saturday afternoon. He had traveled to Afton with his church group for a church conference.

How many times have we raised prayers of safety for our children over the years as we sent them off with a church group, school trip, or on some other adventure? Most of the time they return safely ... but occasionally something goes wrong. On Saturday ... something went wrong.

Sherando Lake is part of the George Washington National Forest and is a popular summer swimming spot for the central Shenandoah Valley.
