Mark's Big Send Off

I don't know if you can ever say a funeral is a good thing, but Mark's was. Never have I seen God's love more clearly in one person's life as I did in Mark's life. There were a handful of different speakers at the funeral and they ALL hit home. Mark wasn't affraid of life or death. Mark wasn't affraid to love. No fear. His faith in Christ allowed him to "GO BIG". At the Funeral pastor Matt Heard spoke about Three Hand Hold for Climbing On.

1. God loves me.
2. God is enough.
3. I'm free to live. - Because God first loved me and because He is enough, I am: free to live, free to love, free from fear.

Pastor Heard finished his lesson by telling us that these three things were not just three hand holds that allow us to climb through life's challenges but they are in fact...Three Graces.

Go Big, or Go Home

Mark Heinmets died today after he fell from "The Three Graces" rock formation at Garden of the Gods. I knew Mark for a very short time. I barely knew him but he changed me. The light of God's love was all over Mark. You could just see it on him. Everyone could. He will be sorely missed.
