Our friend Bryan, 38 years old, walked into the presence of Jesus yesterday. He had been battling stomach cancer which was diagnosed only about 6 weeks ago.

Bryan was a full-time worship leader at his church and a true worshipper. Such a precious person with a pure heart.

I'm waiting for my friend, ai-angel_writer to write a blog about Fall (which she has promised me she will do soon!) She has such a wonderfully descriptive writing style, I'm sure it will be glorious.
