October 18, 2009 - Jesus called His Faithful Servant home.

Early Sunday morning we got a phone call from home telling us of news that a wonderful man from home had been hit by a drunk driver and killed. We were consumed with sadness…he was a GREAT man. A fantastic dad, husband, leader, servant, lover of life and Jesus wanted him home. We are humans and cannot comprehend or see much big picture though our tears, but we do know that God is sovereign and so we rest in that knowing that we are indeed living for eternity and know Dale has received this. We are praying for the McCaw family and all that know them. May we rest in God’s peace through this situation and have HOPE that this is not the end!

With Hope – Steven Curtis Chapman

This is not at all how
We thought it was supposed to be
We had so many plans for you
We had so many dreams
And now you've gone away
And left us with the memories of your smile
And nothing we can say
And nothing we can do
Can take away the pain
The pain of losing you, but ...

We can cry with hope
We can say goodbye with hope
'Cause we know our goodbye is not the end, oh no
And we can grieve with hope
'Cause we believe with hope
(There's a place by God's grace)
There's a place where we'll see your face again
We'll see your face again
