PRAYING FOR SUZI & THE BOYS

Most of you know about the sudden death of a dear brother in Christ, Bart Phillips last week. Bart is the younger brother of some good friends of ours and along with his wife Suzi, was one of the original 12 families that started our church-Cross Timbers. I wrote how this 41 year old Godly man was taken from his gentle wife and their 3 young sons suddenly and unexpectedly from a brain aneurysm. Today in Colorado Springs the families gathered together to say goodbye to Bart. On Friday at 2PM we'll be celebrating Bart's life at our church here in Argyle, Texas with Suzi and her boys.
Bart, Suzi, Gabe, Luke and Nate.

Bart worked for Dr. Dobson at Focus On The family. Here Dr. Dobson stoops down to pray for Bart's mother Gay Nell.


Bart's job at Focus On The Family put him in contact with famous Christian people. Bart & Suzi with Michael W. Smith.


Who gets flowers at their funeral from Michael W Smith? Bart does!

Suzi with her boys.

Can you imagine being so grounded, so intimate with God, that you can worship even when your heart is broken? THAT is FAITH in ACTION!

That last picture really says it all. It captures the essence of a grieving new widow so well. Our God reigns, even when we are broken hearted.
