IN THE PRESENCE OF THE ALMIGHTY ONE

After a short battle with cancer, my good friend and brother Rich is face to face with Jesus. He fought the good fight of faith, and he won!!! The picture of Rich, his wife Jean, Paula and me while we visited him in the hospital is the last time we spent some time together. The angels carried him home a few days later and today, we put his earth suit in the ground with thunderous applause from family and friends. It's hard to let go of someone that has impacted so many lives. He served his God well in many places in the U.S., Peru, and with us in Mexico several times. We lost one of Gods best to cancer, but his death has been swallowed up in victory and he wins! So we came to here to celebrate a few marriages and God allowed us to celebrate the homecoming of one of his saints. ADIOS AMIGO, SEE YA SOON! God has blessed us so much while we've been here and all the running around will end next week with my knee surgery. We were blessed to visit and speak at my child hood church Palos United Methodist Church last Sunday and spoke to several people that remembered my family. The work we do in Mexico was the focus of our message, but I couldn't help but mention the impact the church has on young hearts. We hope to attend another service there before we leave.
