This page was a hard page to make but important for me, just therapeutically.


Our friend (and one of our pastors) Bill Reese, www.inhissteps.com/reese died of cancer in May, just a month after his diagnosis. He left behind a tiny baby girl and a 6 year old son. In dealing with his loss, I've had to make a choice to trust in God despite this loss.


The lyrics to the Casting Crowns song "Praise You in This Storm" are included on the rolodex card. The photo is Bill and his family.


The lyrics I included are:
And I'll praise you in this storm
and I will lift my hands
that You are who You are
no matter where I am
and every tear I've cried
You hold in your hand
You never left my side
and though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm
I barely hear Your whisper through the rain,
I'm with you
and as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise
the God who gives and takes away.
