Saying Goodbye

My good friend, Mark Keefer, is mourning the loss his grandmother.

He posted a note he wrote for her, which he read to her the day before she died. It is one of the most beautiful and heartfelt pieces I've read in a long time.  It's the stuff the little boy in all of us can completely identify with. You can check it out here.

What I've noticed through Mark's postings and status updates on Facebook, is that he has become a very gifted writer, with a great sense of lyric and timing. Of course, the timing should come naturally, because he's a great drummer (they don't just hand out those music degrees at North Texas State!). BTW, he's also an Emmy Award-winning audio engineer. I'm not sure if I have a secret crush on him, or I secretly hate him. Either way, I'll keep it a secret.

Mark, I love you like a brother, and I'm deeply saddened by your loss. Just know that you are in my prayers, and you'll see her again, where there will be no more "goodbye waves."

Praying Over Your Tech Team

My good friend, Jim Walton, has an excellent post on his blog Church Tech Matters. It's about praying over your team and gear. I couldn't agree more.

BTW, this guy has it going on. He has really turned things around at the church he attends. His blog totally worth bookmarking. He talks a lot about IT stuff, which is not in my sphere (usually), but the ministry principles he discusses are great.

Great job, Jim.
