Rick Burgess spoke at his son’s memorial service yesterday. I heard part of it this morning. Powerful stuff. Preach on, Bro. Rick. Seriously, I would not be surprised if this tragedy propels Rick into a more full-time ministry.
If you don’t “get” Christianity and why those of us who believe, believe….just listen to a little bit of Rick. This is faith in action, right here. This is why we know it’s more than an Imaginary Friend.

Can’t bring myself to play them just yet, but, I’m sure it’s very moving.

The dump truck with the flowers in it just kills me. I’m such a sucker for little boys that are about 2-4 years old anyway. The little boys at church that are in this age group…melts my heart like nothing else.

If anybody ever doubts that the good Lord gives you words when you need them, they can just watch that eulogy. Lord have mercy on all of us to have that sort of grace and peace.
That is the walking, talking embodiment of
When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
Thank you for the link, ma’am. I didn’t even know about it until I saw that on your blog.

Thanks Sharon, for YOUR part in helping to share this very strong demonstration of faith. No doubt it will help anyone and everyone who now has the opportunity to view and hear it via your blog.

Bubba said that the night all of this happened, when he went to pick Rick up from the airport, the first words out of his mouth were “It is well with my soul.” Amazing.

Keep up the good work and spreading His message. Just as Rick is am amazing tool for Christ so are we all doing a bit for Him by spreading this message to all who will listen to us. As He says, let him who has ears hear! I was moved to action by this display of Rick’s obedience to our Heavenly Father. I trust it will help others wake from their sleep, turn from an appathetic walk.
