A DEAR FRIEND, INDEED.

This afternoon in Sturgis, we decided that we would like to visit the gravesite of our dear friend Brandon. His wit and encouragement lifted our spirits when he walked among us and after these two and half years, we find that our hearts still ache. Brandon could have been on my mind, as I challenged the folks in my sermon this morning to the "passion of the call" since we do not know the number of our days. We continue to pray for the Delzer family and friends of this great young man and we look forward to being reunited with him in the presence of our Great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.
