Passing

A friend of mine went to be with the Lord today. I knew it was only a matter of time until this happened. I thought I was going to be mad and sad. Im not. I am jealous. He is spending eternity with his heavenly Father. I am left here to pick up the pieces. I heard about the last time he spoke at church. He said that God was good before, good now, and will continue to be good long after he is gone.

Orly was the first person I met at Living Hope my first time there. I was wearing a UM t-shirt and he was the greeter, wearing a dolphins jersey. We must have spoke for about 20 minutes, all about football. This became our tradition. Every Sunday we would speak about the canes and dolphins, win or loose. We grew closer through promise keepers and other church activities. He was always filled with Gods joy.

I wish I had more time with him. Over the last few years we talked less, but every time we saw each other, the talk still turned to the dolphins and canes. God has called one of his best servants home and Orly will now get to spend eternity with Him. You will be missed, Orly.
