Take that Cancer. There's a party going on up there.

I have very little to say right now, maybe more will come.

Precious.  She was very precious.  Her name was Denise, she was a friend, she was a teacher, a mentor, a mom and a wife.

She was precious.

Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints.  Psalm 116:15 

In 2005/2006 I was in preparation mode to take about 20 teens and a young adult male leader to Mexico.  Denise, offered to give us 7 weeks of Spanish lessons. We jumped at her offer.

Every Thursday night for 7 weeks we gathered, (along with people who were serious about learning Spanish), and for 2 hours we had lessons from Denise.

I am sure we irritated her, we pushed her patience.  
We had a blast.  It was some of the highlight of my students week.  Who can forget Reid playing "Spanish Pictionary" and Can-tar?

Since that time we were friends--as much as I will allow an adult woman near enough to be a friend...let's be clear.  Adult, Christian Women scare the crap out of me....she knew it--she was amazing.

Her battle with Cancer is over, she is with Vicki, with Jesus, partying it up in Heaven, it's a really important weekend here--although I don't know if they keep a calendar in Heaven, they must mark this weekend with importance right?

Denise, say hi to Jesus for me.  Tell him thank you, He's been great.  I am so thankful to have known you, to call you friend--but more importantly, I am thankful you are home.

We will be praying for M and M.
