A Friend's Passing

Posted Friday, January 2, 2009, at 2:51 PM

Although I only met him a couple of times, we chatted for months on my blog and I am proud to call him a dear friend and a brother in Christ Jesus.

Jesse Sellers was a follower of Jesus Christ and a devout student of his holy word, the Bible.

He was always there to give a kind word and to support me when I needed it. He will surely be missed.

He has most defintley gone home to be with the Lord.

I'll miss ya Jessie.

My condolences to his wife Linda and his family, he will surely be missed.

In his support of me I will leave his family and friends with this.

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord" He is my refuge and my fortress. my God in whom I trust."Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will take refuge;his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.[Psalms91:1-4]

God Bless you Brother Jessie.

I only saw Jesse once at Walmart with Linda, but know Linda well. When my youngest child was about 2 mos old she and another employee of then EPCO, prayed over her (she had water on her brain) and I told Linda during one of my visits. My heatlthy almost 4 year old is thriving. Linda has and will always hold a special place in my heart and my life. I pray for her and Jesse. I wish I knew more to do for her and her family. This is another, I am sad to say, would've, should've, and could've situations. I wish I had known he was sick. Lots of love to you Linda!

I talked to him on the phone several times, good man. Never knew he was ill though, never said a word about it.

His funeral service today was such an inspiration of faith.

He wanted it to be a celebration of victory.

No doubt in my mind, he knew about the great victory.

I stopped by and paid my respects but had to leave for a prior appointment.

People who celebrate life at death really do know the great victory.

Death may be the end of this life , but for those in the Son it is only the beginning

Jessie has his wings now, he fought the good fight and ran the race called life, he is now at rest.
