In loving Memory

Today I am writing in honor of a good friend, Brian Welch.  He passed away early January 14, 2012 and will be missed by many.  

Brian was a special man for more reasons than just being a good friend, which he was.  He was friendly to everyone he met, and he was genuinely happy to see you, regardless if you were his best friend, or if you were just someone that he got along with and had laughed with once or twice.  

Today we remember Brian.  He will not be on your computer screen when you load it, the way that Steve Jobs was forever after he passed, but Brian touched more lives and was more successful than Steve Jobs could have ever imagined because Brian loved the Lord and it showed... on his face, in his life, in his heart.

Today we remember Brian.  Brian was not as well known as Ghandi, but Brian has a peace in his heart that Ghandi had never known or experienced.  Brian had the Lord's peace with him where ever he went.  God's peace is what got Brian through his sickness knowing that God's Will would be done no matter what path God chose for him. 

 

Today we remember Brian.  He was not a well known warrior for an army that changed the course of history like Rob Roy, but he was a warrior in God's Army.  Brian's life changed the course of history the way that no one else could, because no on else IS Brian.  Brian was an instrument of God and he helped change the world one person at a time.

Today we remember Brian because of the joy that he brought to our lives with his silliness, his laughter, his smile, his strength, his tears, his failures (he is human you know), his genuineness, his friendship and his love.  His love for you, his love for me, and more than anything else, his love for GOD.  That love is what got him through this, and now he is in Glory.  
May the Glory that is the Lord wash over you through the life and memories of Brian Welch!
