It is about 4:15 a.m. Sunday morning; I’ve been up since I received a phone call from our music minister at 2:00 a.m. As soon as I hung up the phone I threw on some clothes and rushed to the hospital. All I want to say at this point is that someone very close to me has passed away this morning. There’s nothing I can do, nothing I can say, nothing… I feel so numb. I was supposed to preach for our pastor this morning since he is out of town, but given the circumstances I think those plans have changed. I immediately tried to call him, but he didn’t answer his phone. Once I left the hospital I tried one more time, and I begged God to wake him up, and at that moment he answered, thank you Lord! He is on his way home right now. I will fill you in as things progress today… this will be a very hard day.

UPDATE: The pastor made it back in time to take care of the services today. Dan Kerr, was our chairman of the deacons, the office administrator, and the treasurer of the church. I’ve worked with him for 5 years now and I have learned what a wonderful, kind hearted, and godly man he really is. If there was anything in the world you needed, he was always there to take care of it. He was a great man, and a great friend. He will certainly be missed. Please pray for his wife Sandra and their three sons as they go through this time of loss.
UPDATE: To add to the drama of the day we had a girl attempt to open the window in her Sunday school class today and when she did, the latches opened up and the window fell on her head. Yes, you read that right. She shattered a window with her head. Luckily she has only suffered a very small cut on her foot and no head injury. I got there just in time to help clean up the glass.
UPDATE: Poor Christopher and Michael and Anna woke up this morning and decided to read my blog. Since my post from 4:00 this morning was quite vague they had no clue who I was talking about and so both Michael and Christopher rushed to church this morning during the early service to see what was going on, with no clue what to expect. Chris mentioned that this post was kind of like the bat signal, they saw it and immediately headed over to the church. Even though it was such a gloomy day, I did get a little chuckle out of that debacle.
I don’t know if it will make you feel better, but I’ll pray for you today. I’m sorry for your loss.
I’m praying for you.
I’m be praying for you too.
It has been a very hard day indeed!
Of course my prayers are with you, and everyone involved also.
My prayers for Sandra and her children during this season of passing. God will provide peace and comfort through wonderful people like you Craig. Bless the Lord.

The finest, fullest fruit from the vineyard of my blogroll: Inoperable Terran points to Instapundit’s alert of the NY Times goof identifying Colorado Brewmeister and GOP Senate candidate as a KKK murderer. What’s really pathetic is that the Dems decide…

What a day…Praying for all involved.
Please accept my sympathies for you and for your church family.
Broken Silence
Changes abound. They are everywhere. At times it seems that I am being bombarded with changes. Some big, some small. I’m actually becoming a little gun shy about change. “Mr. W, we need to change something…” “We don’t really need to do we? Can we kee…
