In Indy (again…)

Posted on by

The kids and I picked up Christy from work yesterday and we drove up to Indy for Jaron’s memorial service.

Last week, Kevin asked me if I’d read a letter to Jaron during the service. I am honored to have such an opportunity. He sent me a copy of the letter yesterday. While I have no reservations about reading it, I doubt I’ll be able to get through it without crying.

Suddenly, I have felt altogether unworthy to be a representative to communicate my brother’s love for his son. I’ve been involved in many public worship events – preaching, leading communion, baby dedications, even conducting a wedding. Nothing has been as overwhealming as tomorrow’s letter. How can I even begin to understand the depth of my brother’s words? How can I do those words justice? My speaking them would pale in comparison to the words that are actually on the page.

I know I’ll have to rely on God’s strength and mercy for this.

Then again, what’s new with that?
