Bill

I desperately need some sleep but I'm laying in bed restless because a friend of ours from our church small group is very near to meeting Jesus tonight, if not already gone from us, and he's heavy on my mind.  He has been physically suffering with cancer for a long time, and he is brave and as prepared as possible, but I'm not feeling ready to say another goodbye at all.  Bill is a remarkable person, and it has been a *privilege* to know him for the months we have had together and to share some of life with him.  Please pray for him, his wife and their 3 college/grad school aged kids as they walk this path.
