Mike Cope’s son, Christopher

January 16, 2005 General

From Mike Cope:

I stop only long enough to plead for prayers. My son and some friends were being driven back from Winterfest this afternoon in a Suburban that flipped. Chris has been intubated and is about to be flown to a children’s hospital in the metroplex. My little boy was beaten black and blue. They’re saying he’s stable. CT scans showed no head injuries inside. The boy next to him died. I grieve horribly for the family. But I’m off. Diane is flying with Chris. I only pause because I beg you to pray for my son.

Last week, before this happened, Mike and I prepared the first article–a tribute to MLK, Jr.–of the NEW WINESKINS Jan – Feb 05 issue, “Ethics: The Drama Continues.” We decided to begin the issue on MLK, Jr. Day because of his ethic of love, non-violence, and impact on the world. See Wineskins.org for a new article each day. Bookmark the site or make it your home page.

Greg R Taylor

I am a home builder in Northeastern Oklahoma and president of 1256Movement.org. Proceeds from my latest book published in 2023, Prodigals, benefit this nonprofit dedicated to reparations of racial trauma in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Taylor is author of several books, including a coauthored work with Randy Harris titled Living Jesus. He and his wife, Jill, have three adult children, Ashley, Anna, and Jacob, for whom Prodigals is dedicated. I’ve been a writer for 30 years, a professional writer and editor for most of those years. No matter what other jobs I’ve done, I’ve continued to write. I’m the author, co-author, editor, or ghostwriter of many books you can see here. You’ll find a lot of topics I’ve written about listed and I've tried to categorize them so there should be bread crumbs for you to follow your interests. I’m 2024, I’ll celebrate 20 years of blogging. You can also find lots of free articles I’ve published in various magazines if you search my name at Christianity Today, Sojourners, and Wineskins. I wrote many book reviews for Publishers Weekly some years back but most of the reviews are not named reviews for sake of objectivity.
