Walter Leonard passed away . . . . . .

My fellow christ warrior Walter Leonard passed away on Friday. Grief has set in and the reality that I have said my earthly good-bye to him is near. On Wednesday we will have a congregational good-bye for Walter. Forty years of minitry, numerous congregations planted, hundreds if not more new Christians baptised and nurtured. Walter will be missed.

New Babe in Christ . . . . Old Friend passing away

Ministry is a lot like a rodeo. The bull comes out of the gate and you do not know which way its going to jump twist or turn. My good friend Kirk Lindsey is in his final hours of life as we write this. He has lived a full life, but is still quite young by many standards,but cancer has defeated yet another strong person. He and his family have bravely fought the fight, now it it a time to celebrate and remember the blessings he passed out along the way. More on Kirk in a later post.
Last night I had the blessing of baptising Barbara E. what a blessing she will be to our congregation. I was blessed talking with her and discussing her life and teaching her about her new life in Christ.

Rejoice! and again I say rejoice!
