Promoted To Glory

This weekend we lead worship at Calvary Chapel Creekside. The senior pastor, Eric Sorian (pictured left) wasn't there. In fact, he hadn't been there for several months. Eric had been fighting a difficult battle with brain cancer.

After we played, we went to visit him. Michael had walked into the facility with his guitar to sing some worship songs to him. But when Michael got to his room he discovered that than hour earlier pastor Eric had been promoted to a personal worship experience with the King Himself.

Words failed me as his wife, Susan, and the family wept over his body. All I could do was hug her.

We are so happy that Eric is with Jesus, but do keep his wife and family in prayer. Susan is now a single mother of 8 children, no income, no life insurance and thousands of dollars in medical bills. Though her situation seems impossible, I know there is nothing too big for our God.
