We were all so saddened last Sunday afternoon, as we began to hear the news that our friend and dear brother Mark had been taken from us.
All around us, in the church and in the world, we sense the buzz and excitement of this particular time of year. And we wish that we could blend right in with all the holiday revelers, and we wish that Mark could join in with us”¦
But in our deeper moments of reflection, we understand that the whole point of Jesus coming among us was to share the sufferings that are common to all humanity, and ultimately, to conquer this ugly thing called “Death” by his own death and resurrection.
Kendall or elves, the headline of this post should read, “Requiem for South Carolina Deacon….”
