On Losing Time

I lost my first friend on Twitter...... he is Jason Mitchener. His brother, mother, and family are trying to continue his work in prayer with over 20,000 followers. He passed on 12/16/2009, but many of us did not fully realize it until a few months later. I knew he was not well in November.... possibly from a food virus of Taco Bell in November that compromised his very delicate body (he was on a ventilator). I had some Taco Bell in November.... and it also made me ill, along with our daughter.

I lost time.... pondering the immensity of his passing... pondering the love he gave to everyone... and me over time... again over time. And, I really felt an attachment to him which was just missing without him. Everyone is needed in this world and in the Body of Christ.

I am so deeply touched that he at all gave me time..... in grace, in wisdom, and most of all in kind, kind, witty words... with beautiful thoughts I will never forget and I will know him in our Lord.... and with his own Dad who passed several years prior to him..... but Jason kept his art, his words, and his inspiration alive as I am doing with the same understanding for my husband and in Christ! All live in Him! All are alive in Jesus! He is not the God of the dead but of the LIVING!

Thank God for the time to process the connections....... however fragile.....
