So true.<BR/><BR/>Although we cannot change what has occured, we can grow from this to be more than we were before, in love for Christ and one another.<BR/><BR/>I pity the anguish and the great loss that you continue to feel. I am certain that Brian knows how you feel for him. Love transcends all things, as does in this case as well.<BR/><BR/>Simply put, "It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." (<A HREF="http://www.usccb.org/nab/bible/1corinthians/1corinthians13.htm" REL="nofollow">1 Corinthians 13:7</A>)<BR/><BR/>I hope you can find peace in your heart. Thank you for being there for me and all his other friends.

It's like the movie "It's a Wonderful Life"... you never know how many people you've impacted until you're gone. I actually wrote quite a bit about the event right after it happened and I was still in Texas (I was supposed to only stay until Sunday evening, but was able to stay for Brian's funeral) - the link is here: http://www.aveiceae.com/journal/5-2-05.html ... it's still so hard, and every day I think about him, and miss him terribly. Thank you for the verse. I'll keep you in my prayers as well. God bless...courthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02274587051971638371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785576.post-1116646215843328312005-05-20T22:30:00.000-05:002005-05-20T22:30:00.000-05:00Thank you for your input on the recent events. It ...Thank you for your input on the recent events. It has been such a hard time for us all. I'm glad to hear more of him than what I've personally seen through my relationship with him through TAGD. It's simply amazing how much more to him that I didn't see until he passed away.<BR/><BR/>I've also been curious about the details of the events leading up to his accident, mostly out of curiosity and also to put questions in my mind to rest. He was a great person both overall and to work with.<BR/><BR/>I pray that your deep loss is filled once more but his memory never forgotten. For as Psalm 126:5 reminds us:<BR/>"Those who sow in tears will reap with cries of joy."<BR/><BR/>The loss of Brian here is only the beginning of something greater.

I've been scouring the internet for anything related to him and I found this post of yours. I had traveled to Texas to visit Brian, and in fact he was on his way to pick me up when the accident occurred. He was an incredible witness, an incredible example, and even now there is a huge wound in my heart where his loss is deeply felt. One thing I know is that he's in heaven now, with Jesus forever. That's the one comfort to me in theis seemingly senseless time. Thank you again and God bless.courthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02274587051971638371noreply@blogger.com
