Remembering Rich

Last weekend, Sept 19, was Rich Mullins's 11th birthday in Heaven. While it is a date that I always remember, for more reasons than one, I didn't comment on it then. But, today, I came across an article while searching for where he talks about playing the French Horn. I love this little article. It very much articulates why I love Rich. And while I would not choose to word the next to the last sentence the way he did, I will not deny that there are many of us Ragamuffins who mourn the fact that Rich was not wearing a seatbelt that night and are ever grateful that Mitch will always wear one now. I know that it was time for Rich to go home, a home he was always hoping for and to meet his Saviour. But those of us still sojourning on this earth still mourn his early departure.

We miss you Rich! Happy Birthday! And thanks for all you taught us! And thanks for all the wonderful friends I have met because of you!
