Hours and Minutes? We know that Heaven is just ahead.

Steve McLellan just informed us that Hospice has moved Brother Mac to the Critical Care Center in Maranatha. Please keep praying for the family in these difficult moments. We are so blessed to know that our Redeemer lives and death has no victory.

Father - We release Brother Mac into your hands. He has served you here on this side with great honor and we have been privileged to serve along side him.

Our hearts are filled with so many memories of lives changed and churches rejoicing as the bus pulled away after a wonderful service. We have all been a part of a unique ministry that truly affected and changed us. Brother Mac shaped our lives through his service.

We can only thank you for the time we were allowed to sing in the choirs that he led. And should those 10,000 years have time for some choirs to sing, we'd like to put in a special request for Brother Mac to lead another Reunion RT choir to sing "All Hail the Power" .... just one more time. FYI: Brother Beam will tell you just how long that will take. And remind Brother Ward that we won't need any preaching. Just have him tell a story or two.

Oh and should you have another moment to spare, Brother Mac plays a really great arrangement of "The Holy City" on his violin. (But before you let him play, tell him he has to "try out" for King David first!)

Now we pray for Miss Beth, Steve, Bruce and their families. Death is never easy for us. We are so grateful to know that you sent the Comforter and He truly comforts us through these hours.

Holy Spirit we invite you to surround the McLellans in your love and peace. And fill their minds and hearts with the good times of yesterday and the eternal hope for tomorrow.

We thank you for the Hope of Glory that you have placed in our hearts.
We look forward to the great RT Reunion that you have planned.
And ...what a day that will be, the moment we cast our crowns at your feet, and "Crown You Lord of All!"
