Sunday Brunch

Well, I feel very moved to write about the events of Sunday morning. God works in amazing ways which we witnessed first hand Sunday at the morning brunch. As I mentioned before one of Kirt's co-workers suffered a massive heart attack and passed away at the brunch. He was only 48 years old and leaves behind a wife & two children. The message that Norm Miller was speaking of at the very time was about how we don't know when our time is up on this earth and he was just about to ask that you join him in prayer to ask God into your life when someone from the balcony started calling for a doctor. The room was filled with approximately 2,500 people at the time. There was complete silence for about 20 minutes as everyone prayed for Darren and the paramedics used the AED to try to revive him. It was amazing the unity and prayers. Can you even imagine 2,500 people both belivers and non-belivers all praying for you. We ate breakfast with the chaplain on Monday morning and he said that Darren's wife takes comfort in knowing that on Father's Day her husband went to be with his Heavenly Father and what an impact his passing had on such a HUGE amount of people. I think God really used this event to witness to so many people that we need to live our lives everyday for God and our purpose here on earth to enrich His kingdom. Kirt and I were having breakfast Sunday morning prior to the brunch and Kirt invited Darren to sit with us because he was eating alone before his wife joined him. We had NO idea that he was going to die an hour later. His wife mentioned to the chaplain that Darren died with a smile on his face after having a nice breakfast & listening to God's message. I had just met him that morning and he spoke so sweetly of his two boys who were in Dallas with Grandparents. We just pray for comfort for his family and know that God used his life and death in a big way to impact others.
