It's hard to say that I'm sad when a brother/sister in Christ passes away. I can't miss them because I know where they are. I shouldn't be sad because they aren't.
Right?
But I do miss those who go before us to Paradise. One of the kindest men I know was taken Home last week and I miss him.
And I'll tell you why.
-He never failed to hug and kiss my face EVERY Sunday.
-He told me (almost every Sunday) that if he was 40 years younger he would talk to my dad.
-He was concerned about my health and told me so every chance he got.
-He truly showed forth Christ in all he did and said.
-He loved his Lord, loved his church and loved his family...physical and spiritual.
-His smile was infectious and genuine.
And those are just a few....
Love you Dr Bill!

Great post!! Great picture!!
Now you've gone and made me cry! He was such a blessing.
Mark and I were talking about this last night - as long as we are on this side of paradise we will mourn the separation that death brings - even though we know God is sovereign. We just weren't made for death.
Thanks Angie!!
Stacey: Sorry. I didn't mean to. I just can't stop thinking about him (I've only known him almost my whole life)and I tend to blog when I have things on my mind.
I have great comfort in knowing that he still lives because of Christ who gave us life!
