Grief and Glory

On August 28th I lost my Dad.  He suffered a heart attack while riding his bike on a trail he loved.  He was the kindest and best man I have ever known.  Words cannot express how much I love and miss him.

Two weeks ago was my Dad’s memorial service, and I had the joy and burden of preaching his service… you can listen to or download the Audio Here.

While back in Colorado Springs, I was able to visit the creekside where my Dad died; once with my family and again later by myself.  Standing in the water, hearing the flow, and seeing that place was an experience I will never forget.  I have done a lot of thinking, praying, and processing over the last few weeks, and I wanted to share with you this poem that is a result of that processing.  I pray that it helps you as you reflect on life and death, grief and glory.
