Thoughts: One of my friends and colleagues in ministry died and his funeral was tonight- Rev. Dr. Pat Griffin. He was an extraordinary pastor. He loved to visit people. Pat overcame tremendous problems to live his life well and in a productive way. He encouraged people and there was not a more faithful person that I know of. He was loyal and compassionate- and in that sense a great pastor. I will miss my friend Pat. Saints are not just those in pictures or those enshrined by the church. Some people set good examples for us in different ways. I am sure he is hearing the words of Christ in his ear: "Well done good and faithful servant."
Prayer: Lord, thank you for saints in this life who overcome problems and mistakes to live their lives well. Raise up other laborers for your kingdom, Lord.
