I didn't know Jimmy but i am praying for everyone who did. It always comes as a shock to me when a student my age dies though. What if next time it's me in the car wreck? Every time a student dies, i am reminded that life is short. Maybe the rapture will even happen soon. but i think to myself, 'am i ready to leave this world? have i truly done my job here on earth?' and i have to say no. i am not ready yet because i want my God to look at my life and say, "This is My beloved [daughter], in whom I am well-pleased." (Matthew 3:17) I know that I will never be as great as Jesus, but I can certainly be more like Him than i am now.
Now don't get me wrong: I would certainly LOVE to be in Heaven right now rather than this pain-filled earth, but i only have ONE life, only ONE chance to change the world for Jesus Christ.
