1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.840
Difficult, difficult day.

2
00:00:07.840 --> 00:00:09.400
It is so important that we're together

3
00:00:09.400 --> 00:00:11.040
on a day like this, though.

4
00:00:11.040 --> 00:00:13.120
So appreciative of you guys coming and showing

5
00:00:13.120 --> 00:00:17.120
your support for the Downs and walking with them

6
00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:19.800
through this difficult time.

7
00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:23.200
Today, we've come together to, well, frankly, cry.

8
00:00:23.200 --> 00:00:24.980
And we'll probably laugh, because to think

9
00:00:24.980 --> 00:00:27.600
about Glenn Jr. is to laugh.

10
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:31.240
So full of joy and celebration.

11
00:00:31.240 --> 00:00:35.280
But also to miss him, to celebrate,

12
00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:39.800
to remember a man of great humor and joy,

13
00:00:39.800 --> 00:00:45.640
a loyal and loving son and brother, a noble man,

14
00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:49.320
a good friend who went to be home with his Savior

15
00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:56.440
and Lord Jesus on October 19, 2021.

16
00:00:56.440 --> 00:00:59.280
And so grief is a journey.

17
00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:01.560
And it is our prayer, my prayer for you,

18
00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:04.400
that you'd experience His grace, God's grace,

19
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:07.160
as you walk the road of grief.

20
00:01:07.160 --> 00:01:08.800
The way I define grace, sometimes it's

21
00:01:08.800 --> 00:01:10.640
just a Bible word we don't think much about.

22
00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:13.440
But for me, it's got two components.

23
00:01:13.440 --> 00:01:16.800
One is God's undeserved love for us, that He loves us

24
00:01:16.800 --> 00:01:18.880
and we've done nothing to deserve it.

25
00:01:18.880 --> 00:01:22.040
But also His power to transform us,

26
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:25.180
His power to transform grief.

27
00:01:25.180 --> 00:01:27.140
He says that tears come in the night,

28
00:01:27.140 --> 00:01:30.060
but there's joy in the morning, that He gives beauty for ashes.

29
00:01:30.060 --> 00:01:34.140
And part of the journey of grief is this transformation of it

30
00:01:34.140 --> 00:01:37.540
into something we can live with and deal with.

31
00:01:37.540 --> 00:01:39.040
I want to pray for you, and I'm going

32
00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:41.740
to pray an ancient prayer, a 2,000-year-old prayer.

33
00:01:41.740 --> 00:01:43.180
It's in your New Testament.

34
00:01:43.180 --> 00:01:48.020
And it's about God meeting His people with grace.

35
00:01:48.020 --> 00:01:51.540
And so I'm going to pray some of this out of Ephesians for you.

36
00:01:51.540 --> 00:01:54.900
And then I'll add a few of my own words as well.

37
00:01:54.980 --> 00:01:56.580
But would you bow your heads and just

38
00:01:56.580 --> 00:01:58.260
kind of set your attention or your focus

39
00:01:58.260 --> 00:01:59.380
on the Lord in this moment?

40
00:02:01.900 --> 00:02:05.340
So Heavenly Father, we are here and ask

41
00:02:05.340 --> 00:02:07.980
for your grace and your comfort.

42
00:02:07.980 --> 00:02:10.699
Like the Apostle Paul prayed thousands of years ago,

43
00:02:10.699 --> 00:02:13.460
I pray for this group of believers

44
00:02:13.460 --> 00:02:15.000
that out of your glorious riches,

45
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:19.300
you may strengthen them with power in their inmost being.

46
00:02:19.300 --> 00:02:21.460
If you could just take a moment.

47
00:02:21.460 --> 00:02:22.860
Lord, that's really true.

48
00:02:22.860 --> 00:02:26.860
Would you please strengthen the downs, the family and friends

49
00:02:26.860 --> 00:02:31.420
in their inmost being by your power and your authority?

50
00:02:31.420 --> 00:02:33.380
And I pray for this group of people

51
00:02:33.380 --> 00:02:36.100
that we, being rooted and established in love,

52
00:02:36.100 --> 00:02:39.380
we might have power to know the depth of your love,

53
00:02:39.380 --> 00:02:44.340
that how high your love is, how wide your love is, how deep,

54
00:02:44.340 --> 00:02:46.820
how all-consuming your love is.

55
00:02:46.820 --> 00:02:48.500
And so I pray for that power to know

56
00:02:48.500 --> 00:02:50.060
the depth of your affection and love,

57
00:02:50.060 --> 00:02:54.260
that you are for them in these moments.

58
00:02:54.260 --> 00:02:54.760
Amen.

59
00:02:57.820 --> 00:03:01.020
Well, on behalf of Glenn's family, his father and mother

60
00:03:01.020 --> 00:03:04.580
Glenn and Shauna, and his sister Brooke,

61
00:03:04.580 --> 00:03:08.100
and his grandmothers Barbara Cameron and Evelyn Downs,

62
00:03:08.100 --> 00:03:13.340
his grandfather Oscar Downs, and his aunt Tammy,

63
00:03:13.340 --> 00:03:17.620
I want to welcome all of you and express your appreciation

64
00:03:17.620 --> 00:03:18.260
for them, right?

65
00:03:18.260 --> 00:03:21.860
Your gladness that they are here to support them and stand

66
00:03:21.860 --> 00:03:23.620
with them on this bitter day.

67
00:03:23.620 --> 00:03:26.580
And to the family, I know I'm speaking for the rest of us

68
00:03:26.580 --> 00:03:29.300
when we say we want to be here for you, not just today,

69
00:03:29.300 --> 00:03:31.220
but in the days and weeks ahead, because I know

70
00:03:31.220 --> 00:03:32.780
you're on a journey of grief.

71
00:03:32.780 --> 00:03:36.180
And a lot of us have walked this road as well before.

72
00:03:36.180 --> 00:03:39.420
And we're carrying keys, compassion

73
00:03:39.420 --> 00:03:43.660
to walk with you in this difficulty.

74
00:03:43.660 --> 00:03:44.380
Yes, today.

75
00:03:44.380 --> 00:03:47.820
Yes, in the weeks and the months and the years to come.

76
00:03:47.820 --> 00:03:50.260
And I would just say a moment just real quickly.

77
00:03:50.260 --> 00:03:52.300
If you've ever grieved a loved one,

78
00:03:52.300 --> 00:03:54.900
sometimes you're afraid to bring up the loved one again,

79
00:03:54.900 --> 00:03:56.860
because you don't want to make the wound worse.

80
00:03:56.860 --> 00:03:58.460
It doesn't.

81
00:03:58.460 --> 00:04:00.820
If you remember a great Glenn story,

82
00:04:00.820 --> 00:04:03.780
it might be tough to hear, but people want to hear how he

83
00:04:03.780 --> 00:04:07.540
impacted, how he ministered to you,

84
00:04:07.540 --> 00:04:10.980
or just some little wonderful story that you have about them.

85
00:04:10.980 --> 00:04:15.540
And most of you knew Glenn, but you may not know each other.

86
00:04:15.540 --> 00:04:17.700
So this is an unusual thing I do at services.

87
00:04:17.700 --> 00:04:19.120
It might be unusual for you, is I

88
00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:21.000
like us to take a moment to say hello to those

89
00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:22.340
that we're sitting around.

90
00:04:22.340 --> 00:04:23.800
And so would you just take a moment

91
00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:25.100
to stand and greet each other?

92
00:04:25.100 --> 00:04:27.260
Let the folks around you know your name

93
00:04:27.260 --> 00:04:29.180
and how you're connected to the Downs family.

94
00:04:29.180 --> 00:04:31.460
We'll just take about two or three minutes to do this.

95
00:04:31.460 --> 00:04:33.060
So say hello to each other.

96
00:04:33.060 --> 00:04:35.100
It's tough to support people when we don't actually

97
00:04:35.100 --> 00:04:37.220
know who we're sitting with and spending time with.

98
00:04:45.540 --> 00:04:47.100
Thank you.

99
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:07.000
Good to see you.

100
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:08.000
Are you well?

101
00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:09.000
Yes.

102
00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:10.000
Very well.

103
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:11.000
Hello.

104
00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:12.000
How are you?

105
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:13.000
I'm good.

106
00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:14.000
Yes?

107
00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:17.000
Good to see you again.

108
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:19.000
May the Lord bless you.

109
00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:20.000
May God comfort you.

110
00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:21.000
He will.

111
00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:22.000
Amen.

112
00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:23.000
All the best.

113
00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:24.000
Yes.

114
00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:25.000
Amen.

115
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:26.000
Yes.

116
00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:27.000
Yes.

117
00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:28.000
Yes.

118
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:29.000
Yes.

119
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:31.000
Thank you, everybody.

120
00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:32.000
Beautiful.

121
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:43.000
I forgot to mention the brothers and sisters, Danny and David, and Karen as well.

122
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:47.000
That's the family that's also super appreciative that you're here.

123
00:05:47.000 --> 00:06:04.000
My name is Dan Fairley, and I've been here for 30 years, and since 91 when I came, I

124
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:07.000
think you guys were here before me, if I'm not mistaken, somewhere around that time.

125
00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:11.000
I got to meet you guys in the early 90s when I arrived at Bethel, and the Downs have been

126
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:16.000
instrumental in just what I gently call the golden years of Bethel at some level, just

127
00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:19.000
a ton of quality people that are around, and it's great to see you.

128
00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:24.000
And I just got a chance to spend some time with, we had a service for Marilyn Seth who

129
00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:28.000
passed away as well, so I was just with a bunch of other amazing folks from our body

130
00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:29.000
of believers, and it's a privilege.

131
00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:31.000
Bethel's been a church going on for about 70 years.

132
00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:36.000
We're heading into our 70th anniversary, but so many people in this room were so impactful

133
00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:40.000
and important to key seasons of this time, and so that's how I know the Downs, and I

134
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:43.000
just look with great fondness about all the strength you guys brought to the house, all

135
00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:48.000
the laughter, all the joy, and the number of people that were connected to Jesus because

136
00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:49.000
they were connected to you guys.

137
00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:54.000
It's a beautiful, beautiful heritage, and it's been so important in the life of this

138
00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:56.000
city and this community.

139
00:06:56.000 --> 00:07:02.000
One of the most beautiful parts of being part of God's family, a member of this community,

140
00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:05.000
is that we get to do grief together as a journey.

141
00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:09.000
It takes time to move through, and it's work really that we tend to try to do alone, but

142
00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:11.000
it must be done with other people.

143
00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:13.000
It just must be done with other people.

144
00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:19.000
Grief isn't something private we do alone, but we do it with family and friends, and

145
00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:26.000
we will miss Glenn so deeply and so often, but when the people of God come together,

146
00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:31.000
and you're a larger group like this or just one-on-one, and celebrate someone who ran

147
00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:39.000
the race really well and ran it with joy and conviction, it's hard because Glenn's a young

148
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:45.000
man, but there is a joy as a fellow believer that he finished the race with excellence

149
00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:51.000
and leaned into the tape, living his life with conviction and compassion.

150
00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:56.000
So we can't, with somebody like Glenn who you know has put their faith in Jesus, you

151
00:07:56.000 --> 00:08:00.000
can't help but kind of say what I know Jesus has already said to Glenn.

152
00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:02.000
You know it too if you've walked with Jesus.

153
00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:04.000
He looks at the beloved and says, well done.

154
00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:07.000
Well done, good and faithful servant.

155
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:09.000
Enter your master's happiness.

156
00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:12.000
And so one day I'm going to hear those words.

157
00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:18.000
I know many in this room long to hear those words from King Jesus, and it brings me comfort

158
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:23.000
to know that he's heard those words from the Savior already.

159
00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:28.000
And God's not afraid of our sadness or our confusion.

160
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:34.000
In fact, the New Testament teaches that God the Son, Jesus, became flesh and blood that

161
00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:39.000
he might experience life as we experience it.

162
00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:44.000
The book of Hebrews tells us that in his love he wanted to know what it is to grieve, and

163
00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:51.000
we see this at Lazarus' tomb, to know what it is to be able to empathize with our weaknesses

164
00:08:51.000 --> 00:08:54.000
so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest.

165
00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:59.000
In other words, part of the thing we celebrate at Christmas with his incarnation, God becoming

166
00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:06.000
flesh, is his capacity to actually know what it's like to walk in our shoes and to have

167
00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:08.000
empathy for us.

168
00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:12.000
And then the scripture goes on that explains this and then says this, let us then approach

169
00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:18.000
God's throne of grace with confidence.

170
00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:19.000
How come?

171
00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:24.000
So that we might receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

172
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:28.000
And you guys, we're in a time of need.

173
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:32.000
And so again, we ask for grace.

174
00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:33.000
I love being a believer.

175
00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:38.000
I think Jesus is teaching the meaning of life.

176
00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:44.000
I think he's the smartest man that ever lived, not some hillbilly from Nazareth, but actually

177
00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:47.000
God the Son, and he taught us how we should live.

178
00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:52.000
And he has said so many promises about the afterlife, about all that God has for us as

179
00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:53.000
well.

180
00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:55.000
But as a Christian, sometimes I think we kind of skip too quickly to that and we don't spend

181
00:09:55.000 --> 00:10:00.000
time in the grief and realizing that it is a tender, tender thing.

182
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:07.840
thing when death touches somebody that we love and I recently reread a poem about life

183
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:13.880
and grief and the sacredness of our love and how vulnerable our love makes us.

184
00:10:13.880 --> 00:10:17.200
We were talking a little bit about like my kids are now driving cars and they're like

185
00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:23.360
bye mom dad and I'm like I mean am I biting my fingernails off like I may the angels be

186
00:10:23.360 --> 00:10:27.440
everywhere with you in that car I'm just going to the store dad I know but so that our kids

187
00:10:27.440 --> 00:10:32.760
are so like important to us they're so to be loving them is feel so vulnerable so incredibly

188
00:10:32.760 --> 00:10:37.040
vulnerable so I'm going to read you this poem and this is a thousand year old poem by a

189
00:10:37.040 --> 00:10:43.040
Jewish poet and philosopher but I was struck by the power of the words to capture again

190
00:10:43.040 --> 00:10:47.560
our love for each other how wonderful it is how precious our love how sacred our love

191
00:10:47.560 --> 00:10:52.760
for each other is and yet how utterly vulnerable it is to love and to give our hearts to each

192
00:10:52.760 --> 00:11:03.480
other so this is the poem tis a fearful thing to love what death can touch a fearful thing

193
00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:18.240
to love to hope to dream to be to be and oh to lose a thing for fools this and a holy

194
00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:27.840
thing a holy thing to love for your life has lived in me your laugh once lifted me

195
00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:39.720
your word was gift to me and to remember this brings painful joy tis a human thing love

196
00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:51.280
a holy thing to love what death has touched the family has asked at that a song by casting

197
00:11:51.280 --> 00:11:58.000
crows that the only the only scars in heaven be played as kind of a moment of worship for

198
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:03.520
us in contemplation that at times like this worship reorients us it like it's my world

199
00:12:03.520 --> 00:12:09.680
has gone completely sideways and crazy what is my north star it is your presence in my

200
00:12:09.680 --> 00:12:15.920
life it is the call that you have on my life and also it's a moment when we give God something

201
00:12:15.920 --> 00:12:20.400
very sacred it they'll come a day Paul says when we will know fully even as we're fully

202
00:12:20.400 --> 00:12:26.560
known but on this side of heaven we do have questions we have mystery we have pain and

203
00:12:26.560 --> 00:12:31.600
the opportunity to like say I'm going to worship you in the middle of my frustration with you

204
00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:36.720
in the middle of my cons the mystery that you are to me before the enormity of death

205
00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:42.720
that's something we can only kind of give God on this side of the grave there will be a day

206
00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:50.240
when he wipes every tear from our eyes but it's not today and here we can kind of stand in awe

207
00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:55.840
of God's greatness and of his plan for us which includes more than this life but the life to come

208
00:12:56.480 --> 00:13:02.480
and so we're just going to have this moment of worship and I invite you to listen to the words

209
00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:05.760
of the song because I hadn't heard it until you guys wanted to play it and I thought I better

210
00:13:06.400 --> 00:13:12.640
better watch this and you know and listen to it's quite powerful so let's go ahead and play that song

211
00:13:12.640 --> 00:13:26.400
if I had only known the last time would be the last time

212
00:13:27.920 --> 00:13:31.600
I would have put off all the things I had to do

213
00:13:31.760 --> 00:13:39.440
you I would have stayed a little longer held on a little tighter

214
00:13:40.240 --> 00:13:43.600
now what I'd give for one more day with you

215
00:13:48.880 --> 00:13:52.960
because there's a wound here in my heart where something's missing

216
00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:58.720
you and they tell me that it's gonna heal with time

217
00:14:01.040 --> 00:14:06.480
but I know you're in a place where all your wounds have been erased

218
00:14:07.280 --> 00:14:15.120
and knowing yours are healed is healing mine the only scars in heaven

219
00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:20.160
and it won't belong to me and you

220
00:14:23.200 --> 00:14:26.080
there'll be no such thing as broken

221
00:14:29.040 --> 00:14:36.160
and all the old will be made new and the thought that makes me smile now

222
00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:41.200
now even as the tears fall down

223
00:14:44.400 --> 00:14:47.200
is that the only scars in heaven

224
00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:55.200
are on the hands that hold you now

225
00:14:57.840 --> 00:14:59.600
I know the road you walked

226
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:11.000
is anything but easy. You picked up your share of scars along the way. Oh, but now you're

227
00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:18.720
standing in the sun. You fought, you fight, and your races run. The pain is all a million

228
00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:33.480
miles away. The only scars in heaven won't belong to me and you. There'll be no such

229
00:15:33.480 --> 00:15:46.480
thing as broken. And all the old will be made new. And the thought that makes me smile now,

230
00:15:47.480 --> 00:16:00.480
even as the tears fall down, is that the only scars in heaven, yeah, are on the hands that

231
00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:25.480
hold you now. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. For the hands that hold you now. There's not

232
00:16:25.480 --> 00:16:37.480
a day goes by that I don't see you. You live on in all the better parts of me. Until I'm

233
00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:44.480
standing with you in the sun. I'll fight this fight and this race I'll run. Until I finally

234
00:16:44.480 --> 00:17:02.480
see what you can see. Oh, the only scars in heaven, they won't belong to me and you. There'll

235
00:17:02.480 --> 00:17:12.480
be no such thing as broken. And all the old will be made new. And the thought that makes

236
00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:29.480
me smile now, even as the tears fall down, is that the only scars in heaven are on the

237
00:17:29.480 --> 00:17:31.480
hands that hold you now.

238
00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:48.480
I'm so grateful for the artists, the poet, the songwriters that can capture our faith

239
00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:55.480
and our pain all in one moment. A beautiful song that alludes to the scars that will be

240
00:17:55.480 --> 00:18:01.480
in heaven are the scars from his crucifixion, his death for our sin. And that's the scars

241
00:18:01.480 --> 00:18:05.480
that are spoken of in the song. And then like those, we will be healed, but because of what

242
00:18:05.480 --> 00:18:13.480
he has suffered for us. And then hallelujah. Yah at the end of that word is short for Yahweh.

243
00:18:13.480 --> 00:18:18.480
And then hallelujah is a declaration of praise in the midst of this difficulty and pain.

244
00:18:19.480 --> 00:18:24.480
This song has an anthem of yet I will praise Yahweh. Yet I will praise God.

245
00:18:27.480 --> 00:18:33.480
So the poet, the songwriter have captured this at Rings True, but also the Apostle Paul

246
00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:38.480
was a bit of a poet as well. And when he was talking about this very, you know, these deep

247
00:18:38.480 --> 00:18:43.480
matters as well, talking about how the Holy Spirit's innocent praise through us and for

248
00:18:43.480 --> 00:18:48.480
us when we don't know what to pray through groanings and utterings and how in everything

249
00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:55.480
that happens, God is working for our good, no matter what. He moves through these two

250
00:18:55.480 --> 00:19:01.480
gigantic ideas as God is our advocate in our prayer life with him, that God's at work,

251
00:19:01.480 --> 00:19:07.480
even in the difficult and in the great for our good. And then he moves to the resurrection.

252
00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:12.480
He moves to the way that we are sealed up with the Lord so powerfully. So I'm reading

253
00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:17.480
to you out of Romans chapter eight, verse 35. And there's a list of rhetorical questions

254
00:19:17.480 --> 00:19:22.480
in here. And basically the answer is no and no one for those who put their faith in Jesus

255
00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:31.480
Christ, who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation or distress or

256
00:19:32.480 --> 00:19:39.480
persecution, famine or this nakedness or peril or the sword. But in all these things, we

257
00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:49.480
overwhelmingly conquer through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death

258
00:19:50.480 --> 00:19:57.480
nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor

259
00:19:57.480 --> 00:20:00.480
powers, nor height.

260
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:06.560
nor death, nor any other created thing will ever be able to separate us from the love of God,

261
00:20:06.560 --> 00:20:14.000
which is in Christ Jesus, our Lord. And that is our deep conviction as people who put their faith

262
00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:21.520
in Jesus, nothing will separate us from his love, not even death. And this morning, as I was praying

263
00:20:21.520 --> 00:20:25.680
about these moments together and thinking about our time, I was reflecting on the fact that as

264
00:20:25.680 --> 00:20:31.680
believers, we always have like colliding emotions on days like today, uh, in services like this.

265
00:20:31.680 --> 00:20:37.600
But as a believer, I, I, I, the grief is real. I've preached my mom and dad's service,

266
00:20:37.600 --> 00:20:43.680
you know, funerals. So I know the grief is real, but as a believer, there is a faith that erupts

267
00:20:43.680 --> 00:20:50.480
in my heart in that what God has taught us about our destiny is true. He has prepared a place for

268
00:20:51.360 --> 00:20:55.440
and that for the Lord and for the believer, death isn't the end. It is a doorway.

269
00:20:56.320 --> 00:21:03.120
You got to know this, that death isn't the end. It is a doorway, the wild and passionate and

270
00:21:03.120 --> 00:21:10.400
pursuing love of God that has been chasing Glenn Jr. down his whole life has finally,

271
00:21:10.400 --> 00:21:16.240
and ultimately, and permanently apprehended him. He is in the presence of perfect love.

272
00:21:16.480 --> 00:21:20.560
Those who put their faith in Jesus, who, and by faith in Jesus, I mean, we've trusted him with

273
00:21:20.560 --> 00:21:27.120
our very lives and said, I'm not the boss. You're the boss. I'm done running. I want to come home.

274
00:21:28.240 --> 00:21:34.800
Those of us who put our faith in Jesus, um, Christ, we have this destiny, this knowledge,

275
00:21:34.800 --> 00:21:41.520
this conviction, and we sit here fully confident that Glenn Jr. actually has it off, has it better

276
00:21:41.920 --> 00:21:51.440
off than we do this afternoon. That Glenn is actually beholding his beloved and is in a far

277
00:21:51.440 --> 00:21:56.480
better place than we are currently. And that he has fought the good fight. He has finished the

278
00:21:56.480 --> 00:22:01.840
race. He has crossed the finish line that one day every single one of us is going to cross.

279
00:22:04.880 --> 00:22:09.200
And he has joined that great gathering of witnesses. Scripture tells us that

280
00:22:09.600 --> 00:22:14.320
a great cloud of witnesses, a gathering of people who've gone before us, who are cheering us on

281
00:22:14.320 --> 00:22:18.720
through this race of life. So we're going to have a time of sharing. We're just different

282
00:22:18.720 --> 00:22:22.320
individuals who've been touched by Glenn and impacted by Glenn are going to be sharing.

283
00:22:23.440 --> 00:22:27.440
And whenever I do a memorial for a believer, someone who's like, you know, said, hey,

284
00:22:27.440 --> 00:22:33.680
Jesus is boss of my life. He's forgiven my sins. And, um, because I've put my trust in him, I,

285
00:22:34.400 --> 00:22:38.720
because I've put my trust in him, I, we have a great confidence that like,

286
00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:45.360
as I mentioned, Glenn is actually alive. We know there's been death, but it's a real deal

287
00:22:46.800 --> 00:22:52.000
that he's more alive than you and I are. And again, at a funeral, our faith,

288
00:22:53.200 --> 00:22:56.400
our faith says, hey, there's a deeper truth than the truth of death.

289
00:22:57.840 --> 00:23:02.240
I'll put it another way. Both evil and death are not eternal. If they had a beginning

290
00:23:03.200 --> 00:23:09.920
and they'll have an end. That's the reality map of scripture. That's the teaching of scripture.

291
00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:18.080
Glenn has again, suddenly died, but the deeper truth is he's fully alive. And so when we speak

292
00:23:18.080 --> 00:23:23.840
about Glenn today, and as people talk about him, I imagine you'll hear us using both he was,

293
00:23:23.840 --> 00:23:32.960
and he is, because it's true that Glenn both was and is. And so we'll probably be fluctuating

294
00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:38.480
back and forth as we talk. You two did a brilliant job writing a bio that I would love to share with

295
00:23:38.480 --> 00:23:44.880
you about, um, Glenn. And, um, it's been my privilege to read this to you. And after that,

296
00:23:44.880 --> 00:23:49.120
I'm going to read a letter from Glenn and Shauna. And again, anytime you guys want to,

297
00:23:49.120 --> 00:23:52.640
you can jump up here. You know that, so I know you don't want to, but if you feel it, you're

298
00:23:52.640 --> 00:24:02.400
welcome. So, okay, here we go. One of the best days of our lives is when our blue eyed baby boy

299
00:24:02.400 --> 00:24:08.240
was born. From the time he was born, he was full of laughter and joy. Glenn developed a sense of

300
00:24:08.240 --> 00:24:13.600
humor in his early years and quite often had everyone in the room in tears of laughter. He

301
00:24:13.600 --> 00:24:20.000
loved joking. He loved to make people laugh. He loved creating happiness everywhere he went.

302
00:24:20.960 --> 00:24:27.280
Can I get an amen on that? That's, that's true. And he would mimic Urkel from Family Matters.

303
00:24:27.920 --> 00:24:32.320
Glenn would dress and spike his hair just to spend the afternoon making the whole family laugh.

304
00:24:32.320 --> 00:24:37.920
Uh, and most of Glenn's report cards, uh, at least mentioned that he was well above average

305
00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:42.400
in the area of comic relief, which actually didn't know was on most report cards. So you gotta,

306
00:24:42.400 --> 00:24:46.960
you'd be pretty funny when the teachers are going out of their way to create a box and then check

307
00:24:46.960 --> 00:24:53.280
it. Uh, when Glenn was small, he would often find himself in, in, um, in his room

308
00:24:54.800 --> 00:24:59.840
on his knees, praying for his grandfather, Glenn Cameron to come to know the Lord.

309
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:08.880
Many times, when his grandfather would come to the Christmas musicals—here at Bethel,

310
00:25:08.880 --> 00:25:13.280
we used to do it upright with the Christmas musicals—Glenn would always sit next to him

311
00:25:13.280 --> 00:25:17.600
and would tug on his shirt, asking him if he wanted to go forward and accept Christ as his

312
00:25:17.600 --> 00:25:23.680
Savior. Although it took 15 years, Grandpa Cameron did receive Jesus as his personal Savior and Lord.

313
00:25:23.680 --> 00:25:29.120
When Glenn was 12, he took a two-month vacation, or the whole family took a two-month vacation,

314
00:25:29.120 --> 00:25:35.440
traveled the western states and Canada while crossing the Canadian border and being put

315
00:25:35.440 --> 00:25:40.080
through the paces by the border agents. They were finally given the green light to proceed,

316
00:25:40.080 --> 00:25:44.000
but Glenn, being a jokester, rolled down his window and yelled,

317
00:25:44.000 --> 00:25:46.560
Help! I'm being kidnapped! just as they were pulling out.

318
00:25:47.440 --> 00:25:50.880
I made a note to ask you if I could, like, what happened? Did they just let you go?

319
00:25:50.880 --> 00:25:52.400
Or just like, You're good, kid.

320
00:25:53.360 --> 00:26:00.800
Glenn always loved big trucks and the mud. His folks purchased him his first four-wheel-drive

321
00:26:00.800 --> 00:26:04.640
Toyota truck with a lift kit. He came home one night, parked it, went to bed.

322
00:26:05.440 --> 00:26:08.960
And when we saw it the next morning, when Glenn and Sean saw it the next morning,

323
00:26:08.960 --> 00:26:14.160
covered from hood to tires in mud and straw, I think it was you, Glenn, asked,

324
00:26:14.160 --> 00:26:17.360
Where did you find all this mud? Where'd all this mud come from?

325
00:26:17.680 --> 00:26:20.640
Where did you find all this mud? Where'd all this mud come from?

326
00:26:20.640 --> 00:26:26.320
He's very excited and proud tone. He said he informed me that he had found a great construction

327
00:26:26.320 --> 00:26:33.440
job site that had just had the best mud and straw for Burr Brodies. When I asked him the location,

328
00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:37.760
he proceeded to describe to me what ended up being our number one client subdivision

329
00:26:37.760 --> 00:26:39.360
that we were providing the windows for.

330
00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:44.480
Needless to say, we informed our son to never share that he had found a great construction

331
00:26:44.480 --> 00:26:51.840
job site with anyone other than us. Glenn had the opportunity to spend the summer in Hawaii

332
00:26:51.840 --> 00:26:58.800
and with Coach Franklin, where he began his love of surfing. And needing to sustain himself,

333
00:26:58.800 --> 00:27:02.560
he had a little extra money. He landed a job washing dishes at a local restaurant.

334
00:27:03.520 --> 00:27:07.760
However, upon arriving back home, he informed us that there was a job in Hawaii,

335
00:27:08.560 --> 00:27:15.440
he informed us that that career was over. And the restaurant business was just off the table.

336
00:27:16.240 --> 00:27:20.880
In later years, Glenn moved to Southern California with Dave and Rita Langland and his good friend

337
00:27:20.880 --> 00:27:26.560
Andy, where they spent many days surfing, getting a tan and well, just trying to slow down the

338
00:27:26.560 --> 00:27:33.040
process of growing up. This was great fun and a great time in Glenn's life. And unfortunately,

339
00:27:33.040 --> 00:27:38.160
all good things must come to an end and Glenn had to stop eating Top Ramen and earn a real living.

340
00:27:38.800 --> 00:27:43.600
And his great friend and mentor, Dr. Lewis Allen provided that opportunity for him. Lewis hired

341
00:27:43.600 --> 00:27:51.280
Glenn to work at his optometrist practice. And this was a great experience for him,

342
00:27:51.280 --> 00:27:55.600
as Lewis was a huge influence on his life. And he was someone that Glenn thought the world of.

343
00:27:57.680 --> 00:28:02.480
Glenn loved to go to professional baseball games and visited six different ballparks. He also liked

344
00:28:02.480 --> 00:28:07.680
to go to the shooting range, snowboarding, skateboarding, surfing and hiking. And another

345
00:28:07.680 --> 00:28:13.920
of his passions was computers. He was hired by Realty.com, where he got a taste of that field

346
00:28:13.920 --> 00:28:18.480
firsthand. He gleaned tremendous knowledge while working there, decided to further his education,

347
00:28:18.480 --> 00:28:22.080
going back to college, where he earned his degree in IT technology.

348
00:28:24.160 --> 00:28:27.920
Glenn had found the job of his dreams when he was hired right out of college by

349
00:28:28.720 --> 00:28:31.520
Mark, Mark, I should ask how to spell your last, say your last name.

350
00:28:32.880 --> 00:28:39.600
Zemmur? Mark Zemmur in 2-0. To say he was excited about this opportunity is an understatement. Glenn

351
00:28:39.600 --> 00:28:44.560
was true, truly loved this job and felt incredibly blessed to be part of it, of the team there.

352
00:28:45.200 --> 00:28:51.920
What were some of the, one of the best characteristics of Glenn was giving his heart

353
00:28:51.920 --> 00:28:58.320
to people. And if someone was in need, no matter who it was, he would give them the shirt off his

354
00:28:58.320 --> 00:29:06.800
back. He was always eager to help people in any way he could, no matter the personal cost to himself.

355
00:29:07.760 --> 00:29:13.520
Glenn would seek out opportunities to bless others. And Glenn's kindness was a key to

356
00:29:13.520 --> 00:29:18.560
understanding who he was. He was always looking out for others, making sure no one was left behind.

357
00:29:18.560 --> 00:29:27.040
He was simply who he was. He would, he would make, he would never make a best,

358
00:29:27.040 --> 00:29:31.600
a friend based on their importance or their status or how they could be used to elevate

359
00:29:31.600 --> 00:29:37.120
him personally. Glenn was a selfless person and his parents loved him very much for that.

360
00:29:37.680 --> 00:29:42.640
He valued friendships most of all in his life, always wanted to bring joy and happiness to

361
00:29:42.640 --> 00:29:47.120
others. He's extremely loyal. And when someone you could always count on in any situation,

362
00:29:47.200 --> 00:29:50.560
he found great satisfaction in seeing other people succeed.

363
00:29:50.560 --> 00:29:53.840
And I thought this was beautiful. He loved being part of other people being promoted.

364
00:29:59.280 --> 00:29:59.840
One of Glenn's

365
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:04.080
Noble accomplishments was a notable accomplishments was his job at two nil.

366
00:30:04.880 --> 00:30:07.480
He was constantly excited about all the things that he was learning

367
00:30:07.480 --> 00:30:10.760
and loved the team that he was working with, as well as the great boss

368
00:30:10.760 --> 00:30:11.440
that he had in Mark.

369
00:30:11.440 --> 00:30:15.680
He took his job very seriously and wanted to excel in every area

370
00:30:15.920 --> 00:30:18.920
to improve the company in any way he could.

371
00:30:18.920 --> 00:30:21.600
And he was very careful, grateful for the projects

372
00:30:22.080 --> 00:30:24.960
that the company entrusted to him and allowed him to use his skills on.

373
00:30:26.680 --> 00:30:29.040
And finally, some of the most defining moments of Glenn's life

374
00:30:29.040 --> 00:30:32.720
were spent over time, spending spending time with his grandpa, Cameron.

375
00:30:33.240 --> 00:30:37.480
He taught Glenn many life lessons as well as a great deal about the outdoors.

376
00:30:37.480 --> 00:30:39.760
They would fish the Sacramento River together.

377
00:30:39.760 --> 00:30:43.000
They'd shoot guns together and talk about things that were important,

378
00:30:43.360 --> 00:30:45.400
things that mattered in life.

379
00:30:45.400 --> 00:30:48.240
Glenn spent many summers in Montana with his grandparents,

380
00:30:48.560 --> 00:30:51.760
where he learned to love the outdoor life and immerse himself

381
00:30:51.760 --> 00:30:53.880
in the beauty of God's creation.

382
00:30:55.080 --> 00:30:56.040
Thank you.

383
00:30:56.920 --> 00:30:59.720
So for those of us that only, you know, knew Glenn in a snapshot.

384
00:30:59.760 --> 00:31:02.680
So beautiful to take the time to kind of paint a portrait of him.

385
00:31:03.040 --> 00:31:04.080
We know it's just a little bit.

386
00:31:04.080 --> 00:31:07.160
And we'll get to hear more about him from how other people saw him

387
00:31:07.160 --> 00:31:10.560
and in some of the and in the video presentation we're going to have.

388
00:31:12.200 --> 00:31:14.160
I do want to read to you a letter from mom and dad.

389
00:31:17.560 --> 00:31:19.000
At this point.

390
00:31:22.840 --> 00:31:23.800
From the time you were born,

391
00:31:23.800 --> 00:31:26.000
you've brought so much joy and love to our lives.

392
00:31:27.160 --> 00:31:30.280
We loved your funny sense of humor in the way that you love to make others laugh.

393
00:31:31.800 --> 00:31:34.640
You have one of the kindest hearts that we have ever known,

394
00:31:34.880 --> 00:31:37.560
and your love and concern for others is beyond measure.

395
00:31:38.520 --> 00:31:41.920
There is no greater pride for a parent than to see their children

396
00:31:41.920 --> 00:31:46.280
have a soft heart and to continually put others before themselves.

397
00:31:47.280 --> 00:31:50.040
We absolutely feel that we are the luckiest parents in the world

398
00:31:50.040 --> 00:31:52.200
to have a son like you.

399
00:31:52.240 --> 00:31:54.240
You always made us proud.

400
00:31:55.400 --> 00:31:58.040
We cherish all the fun times that we spent with you,

401
00:31:58.040 --> 00:32:02.840
all the Giants games that we attended, the Lakers basketball games

402
00:32:02.840 --> 00:32:05.240
with the front row seats sitting on the floor.

403
00:32:05.480 --> 00:32:08.960
Once the Lakers game started, you never stopped screaming in excitement.

404
00:32:09.640 --> 00:32:12.880
All the wonderful memories that we had in the Montana cabin.

405
00:32:13.520 --> 00:32:15.280
This is where your love for outdoors developed.

406
00:32:15.280 --> 00:32:18.360
You mastered your shooting skills with your grandpa Cameron

407
00:32:18.360 --> 00:32:21.720
and developed a wonderful relationship with him learning about priorities

408
00:32:22.080 --> 00:32:24.320
and what things were are important in life.

409
00:32:24.320 --> 00:32:27.440
And he carried those lessons throughout your life.

410
00:32:27.440 --> 00:32:29.600
I remember at a young age, your interest in music.

411
00:32:29.600 --> 00:32:32.560
You love grabbing the drumsticks and pounding on your dad's drums

412
00:32:32.560 --> 00:32:36.480
for what seemed like hours soon after you picked up the guitar

413
00:32:36.480 --> 00:32:38.520
and mastered it in no time.

414
00:32:38.520 --> 00:32:41.600
I'm going to really miss the jam sessions we had and how you put up

415
00:32:41.600 --> 00:32:44.120
with playing the oldies with you, with you, with you, mom,

416
00:32:45.480 --> 00:32:46.800
or with your mom.

417
00:32:47.160 --> 00:32:50.280
We are sure you are showing the angels a new beat or two.

418
00:32:51.280 --> 00:32:54.080
And we are going to miss you making fun of our computer skills.

419
00:32:54.880 --> 00:32:55.800
Probably would have been delighted.

420
00:32:55.800 --> 00:32:57.840
All of you trying to download that link.

421
00:33:00.040 --> 00:33:00.680
The irony.

422
00:33:03.960 --> 00:33:05.800
You letting us win at video games.

423
00:33:06.120 --> 00:33:07.400
Well, it's not so powerful.

424
00:33:07.400 --> 00:33:08.640
That's a great son right there.

425
00:33:08.640 --> 00:33:10.080
And all of your jokes.

426
00:33:10.080 --> 00:33:13.760
We're going to miss your smile, your laughter and your kind heart.

427
00:33:14.240 --> 00:33:16.360
Mostly, we're going to miss you, son.

428
00:33:16.360 --> 00:33:17.480
A day will not pass.

429
00:33:17.920 --> 00:33:21.760
An hour will not flee that we will not be thinking of you.

430
00:33:22.760 --> 00:33:25.720
Goodbye for now, our precious son, until we meet again

431
00:33:26.320 --> 00:33:28.440
on those streets of gold.

432
00:33:28.440 --> 00:33:29.920
Love, Mom and Dad.

433
00:33:32.800 --> 00:33:36.320
This time, we're just going to have a video presentation

434
00:33:36.320 --> 00:33:37.880
with some pictures and I think some music.

435
00:33:47.480 --> 00:34:06.400
If I told you my story, you would hear hope, they wouldn't let go.

436
00:34:06.400 --> 00:34:20.000
And if I told you my story, you would hear love, it never gave up.

437
00:34:23.440 --> 00:34:33.960
And if I told you my story, you would hear life, but it wasn't mine.

438
00:34:34.280 --> 00:34:49.280
If I should speak, then let it be of the grace that is greater than all my sin.

439
00:34:49.280 --> 00:34:59.960
Of when justice was served and when mercy wins, of the kindness of Jesus.

440
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:13.000
It draws me in. Oh, to tell you my story is to tell of you.

441
00:35:13.000 --> 00:35:27.000
If I told you my story, you would hear a victory over the enemy.

442
00:35:27.000 --> 00:35:40.000
If I told you my story, you would hear freedom that was won for me.

443
00:35:40.000 --> 00:35:53.000
If I told you my story, you would hear life overcome the grave.

444
00:35:53.000 --> 00:36:06.000
If I should speak, then let it be of the grace that is greater than all my sin.

445
00:36:06.000 --> 00:36:13.000
Of when justice was served and when mercy wins.

446
00:36:13.000 --> 00:36:28.000
Of the kindness of Jesus that draws me in. Oh, to tell you my story is to tell of Him.

447
00:36:28.000 --> 00:36:42.000
This is my story. This is my song. I'm praising my Savior all the day long.

448
00:36:42.000 --> 00:36:56.000
This is my story. This is my song. I'm praising my Savior all the day long.

449
00:36:56.000 --> 00:37:03.000
For the grace that is greater than all my sin.

450
00:37:03.000 --> 00:37:10.000
Of when justice was served and when mercy wins.

451
00:37:10.000 --> 00:37:17.000
Of the kindness of Jesus that draws me in.

452
00:37:17.000 --> 00:37:29.000
Oh, to tell you my story is to tell of the grace that is greater than all my sin.

453
00:37:29.000 --> 00:37:35.000
Of when justice was served and when mercy wins.

454
00:37:35.000 --> 00:37:42.000
Of the kindness of Jesus that draws me in.

455
00:37:42.000 --> 00:37:49.000
Oh, to tell you my story is to tell of Him.

456
00:37:49.000 --> 00:37:57.000
Oh, to tell you my story is to tell of Him.

457
00:37:57.000 --> 00:38:12.000
This is my story. This is my song. I'm praising my Savior all the day long.

458
00:38:28.000 --> 00:38:42.000
I raise a hallelujah in the presence of my enemies.

459
00:38:42.000 --> 00:38:54.000
I raise a hallelujah louder than the unbelief.

460
00:38:55.000 --> 00:39:06.000
I raise a hallelujah. My weapon is a melody.

461
00:39:06.000 --> 00:39:18.000
I raise a hallelujah. Heaven comes to fight for me.

462
00:39:19.000 --> 00:39:24.000
I'm gonna sing in the middle of the storm.

463
00:39:24.000 --> 00:39:30.000
Louder and louder, you're gonna hear my praises roar.

464
00:39:30.000 --> 00:39:36.000
Up from the ashes, hope will arise.

465
00:39:36.000 --> 00:39:45.000
Death is defeated, the King is alive.

466
00:39:48.000 --> 00:39:59.000
I raise a hallelujah with everything inside of me.

484
00:42:15.160 --> 00:42:17.000
Thank you for taking the time to put that together.

485
00:42:17.000 --> 00:42:20.520
I know it's, it's tough going through those pictures

486
00:42:20.520 --> 00:42:24.880
and it kind of wonderful and super tough, yeah.

487
00:42:24.880 --> 00:42:27.440
He had quite the variety of outfits.

488
00:42:27.440 --> 00:42:29.000
I think my favorite one was the clown one.

489
00:42:29.000 --> 00:42:34.000
I'd love to hear the story behind that one, that's fun.

490
00:42:35.560 --> 00:42:39.480
Well, I wanna go ahead and move to a time of sharing

491
00:42:39.480 --> 00:42:43.320
and Mark Holt, spiritual leader who knew Glenn

492
00:42:43.320 --> 00:42:45.080
since he was a young boy is gonna come

493
00:42:45.080 --> 00:42:46.020
and just begin our time.

494
00:42:46.020 --> 00:42:48.800
So to welcome Mark Holt as he comes.

495
00:42:50.520 --> 00:42:55.520
Thank you.

496
00:42:59.160 --> 00:43:02.220
Hi, Glenn, Shauna, Brooke, family.

497
00:43:04.280 --> 00:43:07.760
You know, I knew the Downs when we were here at Bethel.

498
00:43:07.760 --> 00:43:10.200
We did music together and it was so much fun.

499
00:43:10.200 --> 00:43:11.640
We just had great times.

500
00:43:13.520 --> 00:43:16.380
But that's when we first met the family.

501
00:43:16.380 --> 00:43:19.320
But then we all left Reading and went down

502
00:43:19.320 --> 00:43:21.480
to help Dave and Rita Langland when they started

503
00:43:21.480 --> 00:43:24.600
the church down in Southern California.

504
00:43:24.600 --> 00:43:27.300
And that was about 20 years ago, I think.

505
00:43:27.300 --> 00:43:31.360
And there was actually where I think we got

506
00:43:31.360 --> 00:43:33.620
to know Glenn Jr. more.

507
00:43:33.620 --> 00:43:38.520
And he immediately became like a part of our family.

508
00:43:38.520 --> 00:43:42.560
And he was like a big brother to my three kids.

509
00:43:42.560 --> 00:43:43.560
He was a little bit older than me.

510
00:43:43.560 --> 00:43:45.940
I think he was the same age as Tiffany.

511
00:43:45.940 --> 00:43:47.680
And they were constantly playing together,

512
00:43:47.680 --> 00:43:49.500
constantly hanging out together.

513
00:43:50.400 --> 00:43:53.160
Many times Glenn would come over and eat

514
00:43:53.160 --> 00:43:54.920
with us at the dinner table.

515
00:43:54.920 --> 00:43:57.480
We didn't make him a tax deduction or anything.

516
00:43:57.480 --> 00:44:02.480
But he just became a part of our family

517
00:44:02.840 --> 00:44:05.440
and because he was such an easygoing kid

518
00:44:05.440 --> 00:44:07.360
and just a fun person to be around.

519
00:44:07.360 --> 00:44:09.480
Like everybody said, he was fun.

520
00:44:09.480 --> 00:44:11.200
And he loved people.

521
00:44:11.200 --> 00:44:13.000
He really did love people.

522
00:44:13.000 --> 00:44:14.160
It doesn't matter if you're young,

523
00:44:14.160 --> 00:44:15.720
doesn't matter if you're old.

524
00:44:15.720 --> 00:44:19.520
And I remember my wife Mary's parents

525
00:44:19.520 --> 00:44:22.920
and Dave Langland's parents would be with us a lot of times.

526
00:44:22.920 --> 00:44:26.480
And Glenn Jr. would just call them grandma and grandpa.

527
00:44:26.480 --> 00:44:28.080
And they loved that, you know.

528
00:44:28.080 --> 00:44:29.460
But he just loved people.

529
00:44:30.360 --> 00:44:33.820
And Glenn, he did love to do things for people.

530
00:44:33.820 --> 00:44:37.080
He would pick up my son Cannon from work,

531
00:44:37.080 --> 00:44:39.600
not from work, but from school a lot of days

532
00:44:39.600 --> 00:44:43.120
when I was not able to go pick up Cannon.

533
00:44:43.160 --> 00:44:46.520
And when Cannon started,

534
00:44:46.520 --> 00:44:49.000
my son started working at Realty Track.

535
00:44:49.000 --> 00:44:51.920
I mean, Glenn started working at Realty Track

536
00:44:51.920 --> 00:44:53.520
and it got Cannon a job there.

537
00:44:53.520 --> 00:44:55.580
And that was a great job for Cannon.

538
00:44:57.680 --> 00:44:59.920
Another kid that hung around with us was.

539
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:02.240
There was Jeff Kingma, who later became,

540
00:45:03.160 --> 00:45:04.960
married my daughter, Tiffany.

541
00:45:04.960 --> 00:45:06.360
But he would hang around with us,

542
00:45:06.360 --> 00:45:09.000
and he needed to learn how to drive a stick shift.

543
00:45:09.000 --> 00:45:10.920
And so Glenn, in his truck,

544
00:45:10.920 --> 00:45:13.040
showed him how to drive a stick shift,

545
00:45:13.040 --> 00:45:15.000
and they had a lot of fun bouncing

546
00:45:15.000 --> 00:45:17.200
and jerking around the neighborhood roads.

547
00:45:17.200 --> 00:45:22.200
But Glenn, he really did love doing things for people.

548
00:45:23.640 --> 00:45:25.040
At a moment's notice, he would,

549
00:45:25.040 --> 00:45:27.240
yeah, I'll do that for you.

550
00:45:27.240 --> 00:45:29.200
And there's a couple of funny stories

551
00:45:29.200 --> 00:45:31.080
I wanna share briefly.

552
00:45:31.080 --> 00:45:33.600
It was a nice sunny day in California,

553
00:45:33.600 --> 00:45:36.560
and Cannon and Glenn wanted to just go out

554
00:45:36.560 --> 00:45:40.120
and drive around and listen to music and just hang out.

555
00:45:40.120 --> 00:45:42.880
And so I let them use one of our cars.

556
00:45:42.880 --> 00:45:44.800
And now you have to realize,

557
00:45:44.800 --> 00:45:47.360
the car was parked under a carport.

558
00:45:47.360 --> 00:45:50.160
And you had to be careful when you backed out,

559
00:45:50.160 --> 00:45:51.880
because there was a pole supporting

560
00:45:51.880 --> 00:45:53.760
the carport right there.

561
00:45:53.760 --> 00:45:58.640
And so I had some close calls, myself backing out.

562
00:45:58.680 --> 00:46:01.120
But anyway, Glenn backed the car out,

563
00:46:01.120 --> 00:46:03.720
and the bumper started pulling off.

564
00:46:03.720 --> 00:46:06.720
And he immediately got out of the car,

565
00:46:06.720 --> 00:46:08.840
and he hit the pole,

566
00:46:08.840 --> 00:46:11.720
and he actually, his knuckles were bleeding

567
00:46:11.720 --> 00:46:14.240
because he was so upset with himself.

568
00:46:14.240 --> 00:46:18.120
But Glenn was such a good kid,

569
00:46:18.120 --> 00:46:22.240
I could not even get mad or upset with him at all.

570
00:46:22.240 --> 00:46:26.120
And so Cannon called me and explained what happened.

571
00:46:26.120 --> 00:46:28.600
I says, well, is the bumper still on?

572
00:46:28.600 --> 00:46:29.680
He says, yeah.

573
00:46:29.680 --> 00:46:32.040
I says, well, just make sure it's secure,

574
00:46:32.040 --> 00:46:33.840
and just go out and have fun.

575
00:46:33.840 --> 00:46:36.200
And it's no big deal, we'll deal with it later.

576
00:46:37.400 --> 00:46:41.040
But he just, you know, that was,

577
00:46:41.040 --> 00:46:42.400
I just thought that was funny.

578
00:46:42.400 --> 00:46:43.840
Oh, it would have been a funnier story

579
00:46:43.840 --> 00:46:45.800
if the carport had fallen down on them.

580
00:46:46.960 --> 00:46:49.200
Or even funnier was when he hit the pole.

581
00:46:51.680 --> 00:46:54.600
But Glenn loved to skateboard.

582
00:46:54.600 --> 00:46:57.400
You know, he was always on a skateboard.

583
00:46:58.640 --> 00:47:00.800
And he would always look for new places

584
00:47:00.800 --> 00:47:01.800
to find a skateboard.

585
00:47:01.800 --> 00:47:04.840
So he went to this middle school,

586
00:47:04.840 --> 00:47:07.840
and it had a great parking lot.

587
00:47:07.840 --> 00:47:10.280
It was big, and it had a nice slope to it,

588
00:47:10.280 --> 00:47:13.200
and so he could get a nice long ride in.

589
00:47:13.200 --> 00:47:16.400
And so he was driving around that parking lot,

590
00:47:16.400 --> 00:47:17.720
just checking it out.

591
00:47:17.720 --> 00:47:21.440
And all of a sudden, this young kid opened his pickup door,

592
00:47:21.440 --> 00:47:23.760
jumped in, and sat down right beside him.

593
00:47:23.760 --> 00:47:25.880
And Glenn looked at him, he was startled.

594
00:47:25.880 --> 00:47:29.440
You know, what's this young kid jumping into my truck for?

595
00:47:29.440 --> 00:47:32.080
And then he realized it was my younger son, Clark.

596
00:47:32.080 --> 00:47:34.280
He didn't know that he went to school there.

597
00:47:34.280 --> 00:47:35.720
And my son, Clark,

598
00:47:35.720 --> 00:47:37.800
because I was late picking him up that day,

599
00:47:37.800 --> 00:47:40.640
he thought that I had called Glenn to come pick him up.

600
00:47:40.640 --> 00:47:45.640
So, but we still laugh about that story.

601
00:47:46.800 --> 00:47:48.440
We had a good laugh when they told us,

602
00:47:48.440 --> 00:47:50.680
and we still laugh whenever we talk about it.

603
00:47:51.280 --> 00:47:56.280
And then, you know, it always seems so wrong

604
00:47:56.280 --> 00:48:00.240
that children pass away before their parents do.

605
00:48:00.240 --> 00:48:03.280
And a few years ago, Clark, our son, passed away.

606
00:48:03.280 --> 00:48:06.600
And I remember Glenn and Brooke, he was in the hospital,

607
00:48:06.600 --> 00:48:08.200
and you drove all the way from Redding

608
00:48:08.200 --> 00:48:11.680
down to Southern California to pray for him

609
00:48:11.680 --> 00:48:12.840
and to minister to us.

610
00:48:12.840 --> 00:48:14.600
And I'm so grateful for that.

611
00:48:14.600 --> 00:48:16.200
That was incredible.

612
00:48:16.320 --> 00:48:21.320
And, but knowing that our kids are with Jesus,

613
00:48:22.440 --> 00:48:25.440
it takes away what the Bible calls that sting,

614
00:48:25.440 --> 00:48:26.560
the sting of death.

615
00:48:26.560 --> 00:48:27.960
It takes a little bit of that away,

616
00:48:27.960 --> 00:48:31.000
even though it's very sad and very hard to go through,

617
00:48:31.000 --> 00:48:32.560
it does take away that sting.

618
00:48:33.600 --> 00:48:36.440
And I know that Clark was there in heaven

619
00:48:36.440 --> 00:48:38.960
with many others to greet Glenn when he came.

620
00:48:39.840 --> 00:48:43.160
And I don't know if they have a skate park there in heaven,

621
00:48:44.040 --> 00:48:47.480
or even if they skateboard,

622
00:48:47.480 --> 00:48:49.000
but I know that Clark and Glenn

623
00:48:49.000 --> 00:48:50.960
are having some good times there.

624
00:48:51.920 --> 00:48:54.520
And so Glenn and Sean and Brooke,

625
00:48:54.520 --> 00:48:59.520
I wanna thank you for the gift of your son and your brother.

626
00:48:59.520 --> 00:49:02.520
And he was a real blessing to our lives.

627
00:49:02.520 --> 00:49:05.160
And we have many fond memories,

628
00:49:05.160 --> 00:49:09.120
and we'll continue to remember him and talk about him

629
00:49:09.120 --> 00:49:10.980
and keep his memory alive, so.

630
00:49:14.160 --> 00:49:16.360
And then Jared, are you here?

631
00:49:18.080 --> 00:49:18.920
Here comes Jared.

632
00:49:21.120 --> 00:49:23.120
One of Glenn's best friends.

633
00:49:30.160 --> 00:49:31.000
Thank you.

634
00:49:35.160 --> 00:49:36.000
Sorry.

635
00:49:36.000 --> 00:49:39.160
I honestly don't know if I can do this.

636
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:25.120
Glenn is the definition of a friend.

637
00:50:25.120 --> 00:50:48.480
I don't know how else to describe him.

638
00:50:48.480 --> 00:51:11.600
And then Lewis Allen, friend and mentor, welcome, Lewis.

639
00:51:41.600 --> 00:52:11.320
As I was preparing for this day.

640
00:52:11.320 --> 00:52:19.200
I was reminded of the many conversations Glenn Jr. and I had about life.

641
00:52:19.200 --> 00:52:26.840
That is conversations about Christ, singleness and marriage, schools and jobs.

642
00:52:26.840 --> 00:52:30.680
Conversations that were truly deep and meaningful.

643
00:52:30.680 --> 00:52:36.980
I have known Junior since he was a kid at Safe Harbor Church in Orange County.

644
00:52:36.980 --> 00:52:43.100
You see, Glenn Sr. and Shauna were pillars at Safe Harbor.

645
00:52:43.100 --> 00:52:50.500
So when they moved back to Redding, I truly missed a relationship that was forged.

646
00:52:50.500 --> 00:53:00.700
However, much to my surprise, Glenn Jr. moved from exciting Redding to dull Orange County.

647
00:53:00.700 --> 00:53:08.180
And it was at that time a relationship between Junior and I began.

648
00:53:08.180 --> 00:53:13.540
To place everything into perspective, I saw him as a son.

649
00:53:13.540 --> 00:53:20.160
And that was easy to me to form that image because I had witnessed the Christian foundation

650
00:53:20.160 --> 00:53:27.400
that Glenn Sr. and Shauna had set into motion with respect to their kids.

651
00:53:27.400 --> 00:53:33.040
So for me, that was easy because of that foundation.

652
00:53:33.040 --> 00:53:40.560
So I immediately hired him and he also lived with me while working at my practice.

653
00:53:40.560 --> 00:53:43.320
I trusted him completely.

654
00:53:43.320 --> 00:53:54.560
I trusted Junior, even allowing him to drive my car, my Corvette, my Z06 Corvette.

655
00:53:54.560 --> 00:53:57.720
Billy Jr. was an excellent driver.

656
00:53:57.720 --> 00:54:00.260
He obeyed the law of the road.

657
00:54:00.260 --> 00:54:06.840
He always drove below the speed limit, at least while with me.

658
00:54:06.840 --> 00:54:13.960
So when he asked me one evening to drive my car to grab a bite to eat, I had no problem.

659
00:54:13.960 --> 00:54:22.920
So I gave him the keys and 15 minutes later, 15 minutes later, he returns without food

660
00:54:23.040 --> 00:54:26.360
but with a yellow piece of paper.

661
00:54:26.360 --> 00:54:31.960
And he takes that yellow piece of paper and he says a couple of choice words and throws

662
00:54:31.960 --> 00:54:33.440
it on my desk.

663
00:54:33.440 --> 00:54:38.840
Yes, it was a $450 speeding ticket.

664
00:54:38.840 --> 00:54:43.680
He then looks at me as if I was going to pay for it.

665
00:54:43.680 --> 00:54:49.480
And before he could utter a word, I said to him, you better tell your dad about that.

666
00:54:49.480 --> 00:54:52.000
Girl, I'm just your boss.

667
00:54:52.080 --> 00:54:54.480
I'm your roommate.

668
00:54:56.480 --> 00:54:58.640
Yes, and I would miss him.

669
00:54:58.640 --> 00:54:59.920
I would miss that sense of

670
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:08.960
At first, I was not going to go into detail, but because Pastor said it was okay, I will.

671
00:55:08.960 --> 00:55:12.640
There was a couple of texts that he would send me.

672
00:55:12.640 --> 00:55:20.560
Well, one such text was, I smashed a bug, and I thought of you.

673
00:55:20.560 --> 00:55:24.120
Just thought of a punching bag, and I thought of you.

674
00:55:24.120 --> 00:55:32.760
Finally, I would miss the conversations about family and about Christ.

675
00:55:32.760 --> 00:55:36.920
Shauna, he delighted in those jam sessions.

676
00:55:36.920 --> 00:55:38.120
He would brag.

677
00:55:38.120 --> 00:55:44.760
He would tell me about how exciting, how overjoyed, and how overwhelmed he was when he was with

678
00:55:44.760 --> 00:55:45.760
you.

679
00:55:46.600 --> 00:55:53.240
Glenn, he enjoyed those deep conversations of life.

680
00:55:53.240 --> 00:55:58.520
He respected, loved, appreciated you.

681
00:55:58.520 --> 00:56:02.640
It was a genuine, heartfelt love.

682
00:56:02.640 --> 00:56:05.760
He expressed that to me each time he met.

683
00:56:05.760 --> 00:56:13.920
Brooke, even though you were a brat, he looked after you.

684
00:56:13.920 --> 00:56:19.600
I don't think that you really knew that behind your back, he was protecting you, so he made

685
00:56:19.600 --> 00:56:25.840
sure that all your friends were respecting you.

686
00:56:25.840 --> 00:56:28.000
And Brooke, he adored your kids.

687
00:56:28.000 --> 00:56:30.840
He simply loved your kids.

688
00:56:30.840 --> 00:56:36.720
It was beautiful for me to hear him speak of how much he loved them, how much he bragged

689
00:56:36.720 --> 00:56:40.160
about them upon meeting them.

690
00:56:40.160 --> 00:56:43.800
And yes, there's our conversations about Christ.

691
00:56:43.800 --> 00:56:50.000
One of the last texts I received from him, which was only a short time ago.

692
00:56:50.000 --> 00:57:01.800
His text read, and I quote, I wish the country would turn back to Christianity.

693
00:57:01.800 --> 00:57:05.160
Glenn and Shauna, I want to say this last thing.

694
00:57:05.160 --> 00:57:10.800
I'm a single man, never been married, and don't have any biological kids.

695
00:57:10.800 --> 00:57:17.120
And I wanted to thank you for loaning him out to me, because he opened my heart to receive

696
00:57:17.120 --> 00:57:26.520
love, to be that surrogate father, that temporary father, and it was such a blessing to be around

697
00:57:26.520 --> 00:57:27.520
him.

698
00:57:27.520 --> 00:57:33.520
Yes, because of that Christian foundation, it was there.

699
00:57:33.520 --> 00:57:40.040
And that is what made it easy, so I want to thank you, the family, and his heritage.

700
00:57:40.040 --> 00:57:44.840
Thank you.

701
00:57:44.840 --> 00:57:45.840
Thank you.

702
00:57:45.840 --> 00:57:46.840
That's beautiful.

703
00:57:46.840 --> 00:57:51.880
It's a good thing you didn't know that story about the carport, Lewis, when you were loaning

704
00:57:51.880 --> 00:57:54.240
out your vet.

705
00:57:54.240 --> 00:58:09.280
And then Glenn's boss, Mark's going to come and share with us for a few moments.

706
00:58:09.280 --> 00:58:18.920
So I was actually lucky enough to have been introduced to Glenn by Jared Harrington, and

707
00:58:18.920 --> 00:58:25.880
we spent a lot of time commuting from Orange County up to the office in L.A. together.

708
00:58:25.880 --> 00:58:35.520
And Glenn, I'm going to tell a little story that I hadn't written down, because Glenn

709
00:58:35.520 --> 00:58:41.320
was a joker, and he brought so much love and joy.

710
00:58:41.320 --> 00:58:50.980
One of my favorite parts of my day at the office is when Glenn would silently walk by

711
00:58:50.980 --> 00:59:01.120
my office and flip me the bird.

712
00:59:01.120 --> 00:59:08.840
And I never let him win in video games, but when we heard of Glenn's passing, I called

713
00:59:08.840 --> 00:59:13.020
everyone together and shared the following thoughts, which I'm humbled to share with

714
00:59:13.020 --> 00:59:15.400
you today.

715
00:59:15.400 --> 00:59:19.880
We've been blessed to have worked with Glenn for the past nine years.

716
00:59:19.880 --> 00:59:26.480
His sudden passing robbed us of a dear friend, colleague, and mentor.

717
00:59:26.480 --> 00:59:33.640
Glenn's commitment and character were a constant reminder of what makes our lives sacred.

718
00:59:33.640 --> 00:59:39.480
In a calcified time, he was intellectually honest, willing to engage in well-intended

719
00:59:39.480 --> 00:59:44.960
dialogue to explore ideas and challenge beliefs.

720
00:59:44.960 --> 00:59:53.840
His humility, candor, and integrity created safe space to engage in those conversations,

721
00:59:53.840 --> 00:59:58.800
and his open-mindedness allowed him to consider other points of view without prejudice.

722
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:07.400
Glenn fundamentally understood the humanity which unites and binds us all as equals.

723
01:00:07.400 --> 01:00:13.960
He was always ready to lend a hand, an ear, or a heart.

724
01:00:13.960 --> 01:00:17.040
Glenn's character was that great.

725
01:00:17.040 --> 01:00:20.440
Glenn built deep relationships with many of us over the years.

726
01:00:20.440 --> 01:00:27.680
He was genuine, considerate, compassionate, loyal, and authentic.

727
01:00:27.880 --> 01:00:30.160
And we loved him for it.

728
01:00:30.160 --> 01:00:36.400
I can't think of another person that I would want my children to emulate.

729
01:00:36.400 --> 01:00:42.400
As I reflect on how so many of us felt about Glenn, I couldn't help but think of his family,

730
01:00:42.400 --> 01:00:49.240
his parents, Glenn and John, his sister Brooke, his niece and nephew, and his community.

731
01:00:49.240 --> 01:00:53.980
All of you who helped shape and develop Glenn.

732
01:00:53.980 --> 01:01:01.820
And it made me think of Paul's words to the community in Corinth, if I may, 1 Corinthians 13.

733
01:01:01.820 --> 01:01:07.540
If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding

734
01:01:07.540 --> 01:01:11.660
gong or a clanging cymbal.

735
01:01:11.660 --> 01:01:16.940
If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I

736
01:01:16.940 --> 01:01:23.340
have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.

737
01:01:23.340 --> 01:01:28.820
If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship, that I may boast,

738
01:01:28.820 --> 01:01:33.060
but do not have love, I gain nothing.

739
01:01:33.060 --> 01:01:34.580
Love is patient.

740
01:01:34.580 --> 01:01:35.900
Love is kind.

741
01:01:35.900 --> 01:01:37.340
It does not envy.

742
01:01:37.340 --> 01:01:39.120
It does not boast.

743
01:01:39.120 --> 01:01:41.420
It is not proud.

744
01:01:41.420 --> 01:01:43.900
It does not dishonor others.

745
01:01:43.900 --> 01:01:44.900
It is not self-seeking.

746
01:01:44.900 --> 01:01:47.940
It is not easily angered.

747
01:01:47.940 --> 01:01:50.980
It keeps no record of wrongs.

748
01:01:50.980 --> 01:01:55.340
Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth.

749
01:01:55.340 --> 01:02:02.660
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

750
01:02:02.660 --> 01:02:07.820
Love never fails.

751
01:02:07.820 --> 01:02:13.780
And while words don't do justice to the loss this world has suffered with Glenn's passing,

752
01:02:13.780 --> 01:02:20.140
I want to share a few memorials from the lives that Glenn touched through his actions.

753
01:02:20.140 --> 01:02:26.060
The words of people from Argentina to India to Denmark and home.

754
01:02:26.060 --> 01:02:29.980
I only have positive things to say about Glenn.

755
01:02:29.980 --> 01:02:34.540
He was a pleasure to work with and always supportive, even when we had nine hours difference

756
01:02:34.540 --> 01:02:36.340
in working days.

757
01:02:36.340 --> 01:02:41.660
My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.

758
01:02:41.660 --> 01:02:44.660
Glenn understood the human condition like few others did.

759
01:02:44.660 --> 01:02:52.020
He was playful yet strong, light yet deep, and had an incredible work ethic.

760
01:02:52.020 --> 01:02:54.020
Rest in peace, my friend.

761
01:02:54.020 --> 01:02:56.620
Until next time.

762
01:02:56.620 --> 01:02:59.940
Glenn was a great guy, and I really enjoyed working with him.

763
01:02:59.940 --> 01:03:03.740
My thoughts are with his family and everyone that was lucky enough to know him.

764
01:03:03.740 --> 01:03:07.540
He was a gem.

765
01:03:07.540 --> 01:03:10.580
It hurts so much to hear this news.

766
01:03:10.580 --> 01:03:14.620
Glenn and I sat next to one another for much of my time, and I couldn't have asked for

767
01:03:14.620 --> 01:03:16.620
a better desk mate.

768
01:03:16.620 --> 01:03:20.500
Glenn was one of the funniest and hardest working people I have ever known.

769
01:03:20.500 --> 01:03:23.060
His passing is a tremendous loss.

770
01:03:23.060 --> 01:03:25.060
He was the definition of a giver.

771
01:03:25.060 --> 01:03:30.420
He never thought twice if you asked him for help, opinions, or advice.

772
01:03:30.420 --> 01:03:34.060
Lots of love to Glenn's family.

773
01:03:34.060 --> 01:03:38.780
And while the wound of Glenn's loss is deep and painful, we hope that the love he's brought

774
01:03:38.820 --> 01:03:42.300
to so many lives brings you some comfort.

775
01:03:42.300 --> 01:03:47.260
It's a testament to the love that you engendered in Glenn, and it's a testament to a life he

776
01:03:47.260 --> 01:03:49.180
lived with love.

777
01:03:49.180 --> 01:03:51.420
And that love does persevere.

778
01:03:51.420 --> 01:03:53.420
That love does not fail.

779
01:03:53.420 --> 01:03:58.820
That love lives on forever with all of us who have been blessed to know Glenn.

780
01:03:58.820 --> 01:04:00.300
And so Glenn lives on with us.

781
01:04:00.300 --> 01:04:02.300
Thank you.

782
01:04:02.300 --> 01:04:03.300
Beautiful.

783
01:04:03.300 --> 01:04:04.300
It's high praise.

784
01:04:04.300 --> 01:04:05.300
One of the funniest and hardest working people I know.

785
01:04:05.300 --> 01:04:06.300
That doesn't often go together.

786
01:04:06.300 --> 01:04:07.300
It does in my life, of course.

787
01:04:07.300 --> 01:04:08.300
And then Chuck, Glenn's brother-in-law is going to come, and you can read a letter.

788
01:04:08.300 --> 01:04:09.300
All right.

789
01:04:09.300 --> 01:04:10.300
Let's see.

790
01:04:10.300 --> 01:04:11.300
Chuck, you're going to read a letter?

791
01:04:11.300 --> 01:04:12.300
You're going to read a letter?

792
01:04:12.300 --> 01:04:13.300
Chuck?

793
01:04:13.300 --> 01:04:14.300
Chuck?

794
01:04:14.300 --> 01:04:15.300
Chuck.

795
01:04:15.300 --> 01:04:16.300
Chuck.

796
01:04:16.300 --> 01:04:17.300
Chuck.

797
01:04:17.300 --> 01:04:18.300
Chuck.

798
01:04:18.300 --> 01:04:19.300
Chuck.

799
01:04:19.300 --> 01:04:20.300
Chuck.

800
01:04:20.300 --> 01:04:21.300
Chuck.

801
01:04:21.300 --> 01:04:22.300
Chuck.

802
01:04:22.300 --> 01:04:23.300
Chuck.

803
01:04:23.300 --> 01:04:24.300
Chuck.

804
01:04:24.300 --> 01:04:25.300
Chuck.

805
01:04:25.300 --> 01:04:26.300
Chuck.

806
01:04:26.300 --> 01:04:27.300
Chuck.

807
01:04:27.300 --> 01:04:28.300
Chuck.

808
01:04:28.300 --> 01:04:29.300
Chuck.

809
01:04:29.300 --> 01:04:30.300
Chuck.

810
01:04:30.300 --> 01:04:31.300
Chuck.

811
01:04:31.300 --> 01:04:32.300
Chuck.

812
01:04:32.300 --> 01:04:33.300
Chuck.

813
01:04:33.300 --> 01:04:34.300
Chuck.

814
01:04:34.300 --> 01:04:35.300
Chuck.

815
01:04:35.300 --> 01:04:36.300
Chuck.

816
01:04:36.300 --> 01:04:37.300
Chuck.

817
01:04:37.300 --> 01:04:38.300
Chuck.

818
01:04:38.300 --> 01:04:39.300
Thank you.

819
01:04:39.300 --> 01:04:40.300
So let's read this letter now.

820
01:04:40.300 --> 01:04:41.300
And I have it here for you.

821
01:04:41.300 --> 01:04:42.300
Yeah.

822
01:04:42.300 --> 01:04:43.300
Is that right?

823
01:04:43.300 --> 01:04:44.300
Or you can just share what's on your heart.

824
01:04:44.300 --> 01:04:45.300
I wasn't sure what you were going to do.

825
01:04:45.300 --> 01:04:46.300
This letter is from my wife, Brooke.

826
01:04:46.300 --> 01:04:49.200
To my dear brother, as I sit down and write this letter to you, I am filled with so many

827
01:04:49.200 --> 01:04:50.200
emotions.

828
01:04:50.200 --> 01:04:53.520
You are someone I always looked up to and admired.

829
01:04:53.520 --> 01:04:58.900
Going through your old pictures brought us such a joy that it's hard to explain.

830
01:04:58.900 --> 01:04:59.900
When we were little, Mom and Dad...

831
01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:03.240
lived in a two-bedroom home, and that meant one thing,

832
01:05:03.240 --> 01:05:04.600
we had to share a room.

833
01:05:06.880 --> 01:05:09.160
When mom would give me a bottle before bed,

834
01:05:09.160 --> 01:05:11.080
I would scooch over my crib by your bed

835
01:05:11.080 --> 01:05:12.560
and throw the bottle at you.

836
01:05:15.000 --> 01:05:17.680
I always wanted to be near and pester you

837
01:05:17.680 --> 01:05:19.480
as much as I could.

838
01:05:19.480 --> 01:05:21.760
But like a brother, you would let me.

839
01:05:22.600 --> 01:05:24.800
Some of our fondest memories

840
01:05:24.800 --> 01:05:27.080
were the long road trips to Montana,

841
01:05:27.080 --> 01:05:29.440
where we would watch TV and play hide and seek

842
01:05:29.440 --> 01:05:31.480
in the back of the Suburban.

843
01:05:31.480 --> 01:05:34.400
When we finally got to Nana and Popo's cabin,

844
01:05:34.400 --> 01:05:36.520
we would ride our quads for hours,

845
01:05:36.520 --> 01:05:39.420
dig holes and watch the lightning dance across the sky.

846
01:05:40.360 --> 01:05:42.880
One specific day, we were riding our quads

847
01:05:42.880 --> 01:05:45.120
and sliding on the gravel roads,

848
01:05:45.120 --> 01:05:46.360
and we pushed our luck

849
01:05:46.360 --> 01:05:48.620
and went right into a barbed wire fence.

850
01:05:50.040 --> 01:05:51.480
We were cut up from the fencing,

851
01:05:51.480 --> 01:05:53.880
but you told me we would be okay,

852
01:05:53.880 --> 01:05:57.180
and you told me to be tough.

853
01:05:57.180 --> 01:05:58.480
When our parents and grandparents

854
01:05:58.480 --> 01:06:00.720
took us to the hospital to get stitches,

855
01:06:00.720 --> 01:06:03.040
all we wanted was to be together

856
01:06:03.040 --> 01:06:04.840
and to make sure the other was okay.

857
01:06:05.920 --> 01:06:08.880
That's the type of man my brother grew up to be,

858
01:06:08.880 --> 01:06:10.720
always making sure that others

859
01:06:10.720 --> 01:06:13.760
were taken care of first before himself.

860
01:06:13.760 --> 01:06:16.760
In tough times, he would be honest and right the wrong.

861
01:06:16.760 --> 01:06:20.200
He was a man of integrity and loyal as the day is long.

862
01:06:21.360 --> 01:06:25.680
One of my greatest memories was my brother meeting me

863
01:06:25.680 --> 01:06:28.280
and our children, Piper and Easton.

864
01:06:29.800 --> 01:06:31.640
Both of our kids are pretty shy,

865
01:06:31.640 --> 01:06:34.560
and they could take a little to warm up to someone.

866
01:06:34.560 --> 01:06:36.360
Piper and Easton loved Glenn,

867
01:06:36.360 --> 01:06:39.400
and instantly they became the best of friends.

868
01:06:39.400 --> 01:06:41.600
It was so special to see your heart filled with love

869
01:06:41.600 --> 01:06:45.360
for our children and watch my 35-year-old brother

870
01:06:46.320 --> 01:06:49.000
cuddle and play with both of the kids.

871
01:06:49.000 --> 01:06:52.600
The night before my brother left to return to Colorado,

872
01:06:52.600 --> 01:06:54.160
we watched a John Wayne movie.

873
01:06:55.160 --> 01:06:57.240
Our daughter Piper grabbed her blanket,

874
01:06:57.240 --> 01:07:00.480
binky, and snuggled up right with you.

875
01:07:00.480 --> 01:07:02.520
One of the last times I spoke with my brother,

876
01:07:02.520 --> 01:07:04.200
Piper grabbed my phone and said,

877
01:07:04.200 --> 01:07:05.640
I love you, Uncle Glenn.

878
01:07:07.600 --> 01:07:10.160
One last thing I would like to share

879
01:07:10.160 --> 01:07:12.360
is a dream I had the night I found out

880
01:07:12.360 --> 01:07:13.720
my brother had passed away.

881
01:07:15.120 --> 01:07:18.720
That was a rough night with a lot of various emotions.

882
01:07:18.720 --> 01:07:20.560
I cried out to God to please let me see

883
01:07:20.560 --> 01:07:21.960
my brother one more time.

884
01:07:24.360 --> 01:07:27.360
That night, I'd only slept for two hours,

885
01:07:27.360 --> 01:07:29.480
but I had a wonderful dream.

886
01:07:29.480 --> 01:07:31.920
In my dream, I saw my brother's face

887
01:07:31.920 --> 01:07:35.000
and his shoulders in the clouds.

888
01:07:35.000 --> 01:07:38.080
His face was filled with joy and happiness.

889
01:07:38.920 --> 01:07:42.640
His smile was so pure, like his blue eyes.

890
01:07:42.640 --> 01:07:45.280
There was no sorrow, heaviness, or struggle.

891
01:07:46.440 --> 01:07:49.000
He was beautiful and filled with love.

892
01:07:49.000 --> 01:07:54.000
I reached out to Glenn as if I was pulling him back

893
01:07:54.200 --> 01:07:55.840
to Earth.

894
01:07:55.840 --> 01:07:57.960
I saw Popo's hand grabbing his shoulders

895
01:07:57.960 --> 01:07:59.720
to pull him back into heaven.

896
01:07:59.720 --> 01:08:01.040
But before he was pulled back,

897
01:08:01.040 --> 01:08:03.360
he smiled and shook his head no.

898
01:08:03.360 --> 01:08:06.240
In this moment, I woke up and realized two things.

899
01:08:07.280 --> 01:08:10.200
My brother was so happy and filled with God's love

900
01:08:11.240 --> 01:08:14.040
that it would be selfish to want him back here on Earth.

901
01:08:16.080 --> 01:08:18.800
Looking at my brother and the beauty that surrounded him,

902
01:08:18.800 --> 01:08:21.680
I was able to feel and see how God looks at us.

903
01:08:24.520 --> 01:08:26.479
The verse that I have thought of every morning

904
01:08:26.479 --> 01:08:30.479
since his passing is Psalms 34 through five.

905
01:08:30.479 --> 01:08:33.479
Sing praises to the Lord, O you his saints,

906
01:08:33.479 --> 01:08:35.640
and give thanks in his holy name,

907
01:08:35.640 --> 01:08:38.080
for his anger is for a moment

908
01:08:38.080 --> 01:08:39.960
and his favor is for a lifetime.

909
01:08:41.359 --> 01:08:42.920
Weeping may tarry for the night,

910
01:08:42.920 --> 01:08:44.600
but joy comes in the morning.

911
01:08:45.479 --> 01:08:47.160
Although you are not with us on Earth,

912
01:08:47.160 --> 01:08:50.040
you are alive and hanging with your best buddy, Popo.

913
01:08:50.920 --> 01:08:54.120
I love you, Glenn, and I rejoice in your perfect peace.

914
01:08:55.560 --> 01:08:58.439
Joy has come to me every morning, knowing my legend,

915
01:08:58.439 --> 01:09:00.600
my sweet brother is dancing with Jesus

916
01:09:00.600 --> 01:09:05.160
and has no sorrow, no pain, just pure holiness.

917
01:09:05.160 --> 01:09:07.880
I will miss you, and I promise to honor our parents

918
01:09:07.880 --> 01:09:12.120
and make sure our children know and love their Uncle Glenn.

919
01:09:12.120 --> 01:09:13.560
Love, your sister, Brooke.

920
01:09:13.560 --> 01:09:14.399
Thank you.

921
01:09:18.560 --> 01:09:19.520
Thank you, Brooke.

922
01:09:20.560 --> 01:09:21.399
Thank you, Chuck.

923
01:09:21.399 --> 01:09:23.760
And now Dave Langland, family friend and pastor.

924
01:09:27.279 --> 01:09:28.640
I can go find a letter from Kenny.

925
01:09:28.640 --> 01:09:30.240
I didn't get a letter.

926
01:09:30.240 --> 01:09:32.000
Do you want me to read it, or?

927
01:09:32.000 --> 01:09:32.840
Okay.

928
01:09:34.920 --> 01:09:35.960
You can read it, bro.

929
01:09:37.240 --> 01:09:38.080
Thank you.

930
01:09:41.160 --> 01:09:42.520
This is from Kenny Bryant,

931
01:09:42.600 --> 01:09:45.920
and he's known to many of you.

932
01:09:51.760 --> 01:09:53.960
But he's a really good friend of Glenn.

933
01:09:54.840 --> 01:09:56.640
Glenn Downs was my friend,

934
01:09:56.640 --> 01:09:58.560
an unlikely friendship in some ways

935
01:09:58.560 --> 01:10:00.040
since I was about 15 years.

936
01:10:00.000 --> 01:10:06.400
older than him. We just connected. I knew Glenn from his younger days of hanging out with Andy,

937
01:10:06.960 --> 01:10:12.480
Cannon, and my brother-in-law Jeff. But it wasn't until I moved to Redding, California

938
01:10:12.480 --> 01:10:19.120
in 2011 that I really got to know Glenn. That first year in Redding was exceptional. My wife

939
01:10:19.120 --> 01:10:24.880
and I were attending Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry, and immediately Glenn reached out to me

940
01:10:24.880 --> 01:10:31.280
wanting to hang out. We hung out every chance we got. I spent hundreds of hours with Glenn that

941
01:10:31.280 --> 01:10:37.600
year. We had multiple common interests, music, guns, but especially disc golf.

942
01:10:39.360 --> 01:10:44.240
We played a lot of disc golf. We played all the surrounding courses in Redding,

943
01:10:44.240 --> 01:10:49.920
Anderson, and as far away as Weaverville. Sometimes Cannon would join us, or my sons River

944
01:10:49.920 --> 01:10:55.200
and Zane and others. But there was one prerequisite. We talked about everything.

945
01:10:56.960 --> 01:11:00.880
Disc golf takes a couple of hours to play, so we had plenty of time to talk.

946
01:11:02.000 --> 01:11:08.160
We talked about politics, religion, guns, marriage, disappointments, forgiveness, and Jesus.

947
01:11:09.120 --> 01:11:15.840
We also talked about unimportant things, like why no matter how many discs I bought,

948
01:11:15.840 --> 01:11:22.240
I was still awful at disc golf. You can just hear Glenn razzing.

949
01:11:23.840 --> 01:11:29.600
Joy, fun, and laughter were at the heart of our relationship. Glenn's laugh was absolutely

950
01:11:29.600 --> 01:11:36.080
contagious. I learned over all that time that Glenn was one of the smartest, wisest, thoughtful,

951
01:11:36.080 --> 01:11:43.200
kind, loyal, and hardest working people that I had ever met. I think Glenn considered me a mentor in

952
01:11:43.200 --> 01:11:49.520
some ways, but I also learned some very important things from him. I learned new depths of grace and

953
01:11:49.520 --> 01:11:55.760
mercy, friendship and loyalty, joy and laughter. But most of all, I learned how to just be myself.

954
01:11:56.320 --> 01:12:00.800
I will miss my friend deeply, but I'm confident that I will see him again,

955
01:12:01.360 --> 01:12:04.560
and we will play a lot of disc golf. Kenny Bryant.

956
01:12:13.280 --> 01:12:20.080
I want to thank all of the people that shared, all of Glenn's friends, family that have shared

957
01:12:20.080 --> 01:12:28.320
about him. So good to hear those stories, and Pastor Dan, the way he's presented just the

958
01:12:28.320 --> 01:12:35.600
love God has for us, and the way he wants to minister to us and help us through this time.

959
01:12:36.560 --> 01:12:42.160
And in fact, everyone did such a good job. You know, even Jared did awesome. Jared has my speech.

960
01:12:42.160 --> 01:12:49.600
I was going to get up here and just cry and go back, you know. But everyone had such a heartfelt

961
01:12:49.600 --> 01:12:56.560
way of sharing, and just a different part of Glenn that maybe each one of us didn't know

962
01:12:56.560 --> 01:13:02.400
everything that he was up to. And I'm really glad, Glenn and Shani, you brought up that

963
01:13:03.680 --> 01:13:10.560
Glenn's Urkel routine, because I remember that so clearly. And sometimes you feel,

964
01:13:10.560 --> 01:13:13.840
come on, Glenn, you're going a little overboard, you know.

965
01:13:16.160 --> 01:13:22.160
But it was so amazing. He was so convincing. It was almost a little, like, disturbing, you know.

966
01:13:24.480 --> 01:13:29.440
But then imagine our shock when we found out he was a tech genius.

967
01:13:30.000 --> 01:13:31.920
You know, Urkel becomes tech genius.

968
01:13:32.240 --> 01:13:43.760
It was so great to hear the different facets of Glenn. And I know that the family knew him the

969
01:13:43.760 --> 01:13:53.280
best, and they will miss him the most. All of us will miss him. And I know the family,

970
01:13:55.200 --> 01:13:57.120
there's a big hole, you know.

971
01:14:02.160 --> 01:14:15.200
Glenn was a great friend to my son. And Andy's watching from Virginia. And Rita's in Tanzania

972
01:14:15.200 --> 01:14:20.480
watching, I think, if she's still awake. If not, she'll get the archive. It's probably about 2am,

973
01:14:20.480 --> 01:14:27.120
3am there. But she was going to watch online. And they both wish so much they could be here.

974
01:14:27.120 --> 01:14:30.560
In fact, I had to tell Andy, don't come. He wanted to come. I told him, don't come.

975
01:14:31.520 --> 01:14:37.120
Your wife has four small children. It wouldn't, you know, you need to stay there for her.

976
01:14:39.840 --> 01:14:45.520
But we love you guys so much. And I wanted to just share real briefly a scripture,

977
01:14:46.160 --> 01:14:52.880
and just the thoughts the Lord put on my heart for you, Glenn, and Shauna, and Brooke, and Chuck.

978
01:14:55.760 --> 01:14:59.840
This is something I believe the Lord wants you to be encouraged about.

979
01:15:00.000 --> 01:15:10.680
First of all, Psalm 34, 18 says the Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed

980
01:15:10.680 --> 01:15:11.680
in spirit.

981
01:15:11.680 --> 01:15:15.840
It's his word, you know, his promise to us.

982
01:15:15.840 --> 01:15:16.840
God is near you.

983
01:15:16.840 --> 01:15:22.280
He's probably, you'll feel him nearer to you at this time than maybe many other times in

984
01:15:22.280 --> 01:15:24.780
your life.

985
01:15:24.780 --> 01:15:34.120
And then Matthew 7, verse 24-27 is what I really felt in my heart to share with you.

986
01:15:34.120 --> 01:15:39.140
And it goes along with what Pastor Dan was saying about the grieving process.

987
01:15:39.140 --> 01:15:43.640
Because you have sowed God's word into your heart, Jesus' word into your heart, you're

988
01:15:43.640 --> 01:15:46.420
prepared for this time.

989
01:15:46.420 --> 01:15:51.180
And you don't need to be afraid of those feelings that come over you, that sweep over

990
01:15:51.180 --> 01:15:54.820
you.

991
01:15:54.820 --> 01:15:55.820
And the word says,

992
01:15:55.820 --> 01:16:00.300
Therefore, whoever hears these sayings of mine and does them, I will liken him to a

993
01:16:00.300 --> 01:16:04.020
wise man who built his house on the rock.

994
01:16:04.020 --> 01:16:09.200
And the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house.

995
01:16:09.200 --> 01:16:16.020
And it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.

996
01:16:16.020 --> 01:16:20.580
But everyone who hears these sayings of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish

997
01:16:20.580 --> 01:16:23.320
man who built his house on the sand.

998
01:16:23.320 --> 01:16:27.860
And the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house.

999
01:16:27.860 --> 01:16:29.180
And it fell.

1000
01:16:29.180 --> 01:16:31.500
And great was its fall.

1001
01:16:31.500 --> 01:16:40.340
And in a similar verse in Luke chapter 6, verse 46-49, it's the same passage essentially

1002
01:16:40.340 --> 01:16:47.620
except it adds that the wise man dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock.

1003
01:16:47.620 --> 01:16:50.440
And I know, you know, we've had a long history together.

1004
01:16:50.440 --> 01:16:51.940
We've been in ministry together.

1005
01:16:51.940 --> 01:16:54.340
We've been friends together.

1006
01:16:54.340 --> 01:17:02.260
We've shared, your son, you know, he's stayed with us for a while and we just have many

1007
01:17:02.260 --> 01:17:06.340
common things and our understanding of the word is very similar.

1008
01:17:06.340 --> 01:17:15.020
And I just felt that the Lord is saying to you that you have made his word and your relationship

1009
01:17:15.020 --> 01:17:18.960
with Jesus the most important thing in your life.

1010
01:17:18.960 --> 01:17:24.060
And that you've built your life on this rock, on the foundation of his word and on your

1011
01:17:24.060 --> 01:17:26.020
relationship with him.

1012
01:17:26.020 --> 01:17:32.980
Jesus is that rock and his word, he is the word of God.

1013
01:17:32.980 --> 01:17:42.140
And that as you're going through the next several months, you know, Pastor Dan probably

1014
01:17:42.140 --> 01:17:48.500
would share this with you too, there's no time limit on how long a person grieves.

1015
01:17:48.500 --> 01:17:50.380
There's no, you can't rush it.

1016
01:17:50.380 --> 01:17:54.780
Sometimes you wish it would be over and they'll come back.

1017
01:17:54.780 --> 01:17:58.580
And sometimes I have ministered to people, they feel so frustrated.

1018
01:17:58.580 --> 01:18:00.540
Why do I, what's wrong with me?

1019
01:18:00.540 --> 01:18:02.540
You know, there's nothing wrong with you.

1020
01:18:02.540 --> 01:18:07.780
There's a big hole and God's refilling it and healing it.

1021
01:18:07.780 --> 01:18:11.140
But you are ready, you know, you're prepared.

1022
01:18:11.140 --> 01:18:15.140
Everything that you're going to have to go through and have gone through, God's going

1023
01:18:15.140 --> 01:18:18.940
to bring you through and you're going to stand.

1024
01:18:18.940 --> 01:18:25.700
And when the storm is done blowing, you'll be standing on that rock and you'll be even,

1025
01:18:25.700 --> 01:18:29.420
you know, stronger.

1026
01:18:29.420 --> 01:18:35.780
And the Lord's will be closer, you'll feel him closer.

1027
01:18:35.780 --> 01:18:40.900
And then there's one more scripture I wanted to share, well, one more of mine and then

1028
01:18:40.900 --> 01:18:43.580
Rita had one for you.

1029
01:18:43.580 --> 01:18:48.140
And that is from John 11 chapter 23 through 27.

1030
01:18:48.140 --> 01:18:55.140
And it's about keeping the eternal perspective and the things that were shared and the thoughts

1031
01:18:55.140 --> 01:19:01.500
that were shared really brought that out about Glenn being in that better place than

1032
01:19:01.500 --> 01:19:02.500
we are.

1033
01:19:02.500 --> 01:19:08.300
You know, I think of some of the people that are part of our church have passed away a

1034
01:19:08.300 --> 01:19:09.300
couple of years ago.

1035
01:19:09.300 --> 01:19:16.620
I'm like, you know, they didn't have to go through this whole COVID thing, you know.

1036
01:19:16.620 --> 01:19:22.180
Bless their hearts and left us here to deal with it.

1037
01:19:22.220 --> 01:19:33.620
But it's the story of Lazarus, Jesus and Lazarus and his interactions with Lazarus's sisters.

1038
01:19:33.620 --> 01:19:35.300
And I only share one portion of it.

1039
01:19:35.300 --> 01:19:43.440
It's where Jesus said to Martha, he said, your brother, Jesus said to her, your brother

1040
01:19:43.440 --> 01:19:45.820
will rise again.

1041
01:19:45.820 --> 01:19:50.340
And Martha said to him, I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last

1042
01:19:50.340 --> 01:19:51.940
day.

1043
01:19:52.700 --> 01:19:57.340
And Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life.

1044
01:19:57.340 --> 01:20:00.060
He who believes in me, though he may die, he shall live.

1045
01:20:00.000 --> 01:20:09.840
live. And whoever lives and believes in me shall never die." It's kind of an interesting

1046
01:20:09.840 --> 01:20:16.520
construction in the language there, where he says that whoever lives and believes in

1047
01:20:16.520 --> 01:20:22.320
me shall never die. But before that he says, he who believes in me, though he may die,

1048
01:20:22.320 --> 01:20:29.580
he shall live. So when you're given and put your life and you've made Jesus your Lord

1049
01:20:29.580 --> 01:20:37.820
and Savior, and you've put your trust in the Lord Jesus, it's like you're in a place

1050
01:20:37.820 --> 01:20:49.000
where you can die, but you're not dead, as has been shared. And yet, our perspective

1051
01:20:49.000 --> 01:20:55.860
on this side of heaven is such of a loss. You know, there's this loss, but the reality

1052
01:20:55.860 --> 01:21:05.700
is Glenn is very much alive. Very much alive. Jesus made the comment that God is the God

1053
01:21:05.700 --> 01:21:13.700
of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Not He was their God, but He is their God. They're alive. Glenn's

1054
01:21:13.700 --> 01:21:22.920
alive. And it's our challenge to continue to stay in that Word, stay on that foundation

1055
01:21:22.920 --> 01:21:29.120
that you've already laid, and let God bring us through this process. And that we will

1056
01:21:29.120 --> 01:21:34.920
see as we do that, you will see as you do that, you know, that there are better days

1057
01:21:34.920 --> 01:21:42.840
ahead for you. Even though it feels like, how can that be? And yet it will be. So finally,

1058
01:21:42.840 --> 01:21:52.200
Rita asked me to share this scripture from Psalm 116, verse 15. Precious in the sight

1059
01:21:52.200 --> 01:21:58.040
of the Lord is the death of His saints. Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His

1060
01:21:58.040 --> 01:22:06.720
saints. You know, when I think of that, when one of His saints passes away, God is aware

1061
01:22:06.720 --> 01:22:11.600
of it. You know, when they die, God's aware of it. God's watching it happen. And it's

1062
01:22:11.600 --> 01:22:21.000
precious to Him. You know, to us, it's awful. To Him, it's precious. And He's, you know,

1063
01:22:21.000 --> 01:22:26.440
giving them into His presence. And He knows our pain. Jesus is acquainted with all of

1064
01:22:26.440 --> 01:22:35.920
our sorrows. And so He's the one we turn to in these times. But God encouraged me about

1065
01:22:35.920 --> 01:22:45.040
your solid foundation, and that God is going to bring you guys through this. And you have

1066
01:22:45.080 --> 01:22:54.240
so many awesome friends and family members. And as Dan mentioned, don't be afraid to talk

1067
01:22:54.240 --> 01:22:58.040
about Glenn. You know, we all want to talk about him.

1068
01:22:58.040 --> 01:23:03.040
Thank you, David. Thank you.

1069
01:23:03.040 --> 01:23:11.600
As we move towards closing our formal time, we're going to have like an informal time of

1070
01:23:11.600 --> 01:23:18.440
food and friendship and fellowship in just a few moments. But thank you, everybody that

1071
01:23:18.440 --> 01:23:22.880
shared. Beautiful. It's an opportunity to see Glenn through another set of eyes. It's so

1072
01:23:22.880 --> 01:23:31.760
meaningful, so important. Somewhere in Glenn's early life, somewhere on his life's journey,

1073
01:23:31.760 --> 01:23:36.320
somebody, maybe his mom or his dad, maybe a Sunday school teacher, told Glenn that God

1074
01:23:36.320 --> 01:23:43.160
loved him. And that God had been looking for him. There's parables in the Bible about

1075
01:23:43.160 --> 01:23:49.200
how the Lord is like a woman who has ten coins, loses one and tears her house apart trying

1076
01:23:49.200 --> 01:23:55.640
to find that one special one. There's stories in the Bible about He's got 99 sheep and one's

1077
01:23:55.640 --> 01:24:00.400
missing. So He leaves the 99 to go find the one. I remember being one of the 99 thinking,

1078
01:24:00.400 --> 01:24:04.360
why are you leaving and finding that guy? But that's the heart of God who says, I'm

1079
01:24:04.520 --> 01:24:08.280
not. The distracted heart of the Father says, somebody's not safe, somebody's not home,

1080
01:24:08.280 --> 01:24:14.840
and He's reaching for them. Glenn responded to that somewhere in his childhood and gave

1081
01:24:14.840 --> 01:24:19.760
his heart to Jesus. Somewhere he learned that the cross and the resurrection were God's way

1082
01:24:19.760 --> 01:24:28.040
of healing His creation and of renewing humanity. And sometime in Glenn's life, probably like most

1083
01:24:28.040 --> 01:24:31.800
of us who grew up in the church, gave his heart to Jesus ten times sometimes. I probably led my

1084
01:24:31.800 --> 01:24:39.040
kids to the Lord ten times, you know, at various times. But I think the Lord grabs ahold of you

1085
01:24:39.040 --> 01:24:43.360
that first time, by the way. That first time you go, I love you. I think I want to be with you.

1086
01:24:43.360 --> 01:24:46.680
Like, that's good enough for me. I think He grabs ahold of you right there and He's got

1087
01:24:46.680 --> 01:24:54.080
you held fast. But somewhere He kind of said a prayer, something like, Jesus, thank you. I'm

1088
01:24:54.080 --> 01:24:59.880
done trusting myself. I'm going to trust you. Forgive me for my rebellion, for running away.

1089
01:25:00.000 --> 01:25:03.500
I'm done running and I want to come home.

1090
01:25:03.500 --> 01:25:07.720
And I think Glenn's commitment, his connection with Jesus would just, he'd be thrilled if

1091
01:25:07.720 --> 01:25:12.720
you heard how much the gospel has impacted him and has shaped the community of believers.

1092
01:25:12.720 --> 01:25:16.680
And you said, today's the day I'm done running, I want to come home.

1093
01:25:16.680 --> 01:25:20.280
And again, it's as simple as a prayer and putting our trust in God.

1094
01:25:20.280 --> 01:25:21.280
Why is it so simple?

1095
01:25:21.280 --> 01:25:24.760
Because it was so difficult for him in his death and his resurrection.

1096
01:25:24.760 --> 01:25:29.560
And the Lord has gone to great measures, great lengths to call us home and welcoming

1097
01:25:29.560 --> 01:25:30.560
us home.

1098
01:25:30.560 --> 01:25:33.280
And I can tell you plainly, probably every Christian in this room would tell you, none

1099
01:25:33.280 --> 01:25:36.720
of us realized what we were signing on for when we signed up at some level.

1100
01:25:36.720 --> 01:25:39.320
You're like, wow, okay, this is pretty involved.

1101
01:25:39.320 --> 01:25:41.200
And so we never do.

1102
01:25:41.200 --> 01:25:43.260
And yet the Lord grabs hold of us.

1103
01:25:43.260 --> 01:25:47.880
We grab hold of him with like our timid little, you know, little baby hand and grab hold of

1104
01:25:47.880 --> 01:25:48.880
him.

1105
01:25:48.880 --> 01:25:53.600
But he grabs hold of us with that thundering hand of grace and says, I've got you, you're

1106
01:25:53.600 --> 01:25:54.600
mine.

1107
01:25:54.600 --> 01:26:00.680
And Jesus said, no one can snatch us out of the father's hand.

1108
01:26:00.680 --> 01:26:05.680
At funerals, we face deep things that we spend a great deal of time trying to ignore, life

1109
01:26:05.680 --> 01:26:08.240
after death and death itself.

1110
01:26:08.240 --> 01:26:11.800
But they are a moment just to say, hey, how's my connection with the Lord?

1111
01:26:11.800 --> 01:26:14.360
And I'd invite you to do just that.

1112
01:26:14.360 --> 01:26:19.200
For a while, it's not popular anymore, but for a while it was the term YOLO was out there,

1113
01:26:19.200 --> 01:26:20.200
right?

1114
01:26:20.200 --> 01:26:21.200
You only live once.

1115
01:26:21.760 --> 01:26:27.120
Not actually the gospel message, which is we live twice.

1116
01:26:27.120 --> 01:26:29.440
There is a life after this life.

1117
01:26:29.440 --> 01:26:30.840
And so I have a new phrase, YOLT.

1118
01:26:30.840 --> 01:26:34.720
You can go ahead and get a tattoo of that if you'd like, but you only live twice.

1119
01:26:34.720 --> 01:26:39.240
That when we organize our life, we're not organizing life just for this life because

1120
01:26:39.240 --> 01:26:40.240
we only live once.

1121
01:26:40.240 --> 01:26:43.280
We actually believe in life and his presence afterwards.

1122
01:26:43.280 --> 01:26:49.580
And that belief runs into this life and begins to shape who we are as we love each other,

1123
01:26:49.580 --> 01:26:55.380
love our neighbor, love our enemies and reach for those who sometimes disagree with us,

1124
01:26:55.380 --> 01:26:57.060
sometimes are disagreeable.

1125
01:26:57.060 --> 01:26:59.940
We hear the testimony of Glenn, a man who was able to do that.

1126
01:26:59.940 --> 01:27:04.580
He was able to think outside of himself, to think along with the imagination and the mind

1127
01:27:04.580 --> 01:27:10.140
of God in how he loves people and reaches for them.

1128
01:27:10.140 --> 01:27:13.700
And so in conclusion, just a reminder that just the good news of the gospel in Jesus

1129
01:27:13.700 --> 01:27:17.500
is that Glenn is not gone, but he's gone home.

1130
01:27:17.500 --> 01:27:19.780
And we will see him again.

1131
01:27:19.780 --> 01:27:25.380
He's not merely asleep, but wide eyed awake for the very first time.

1132
01:27:25.380 --> 01:27:30.180
That he has not reached the end of his life, but the beginning of eternal life.

1133
01:27:30.180 --> 01:27:37.900
And he is not dead, I tell you, but is really alive, truly alive for the very first time.

1134
01:27:37.900 --> 01:27:43.580
So let's close in prayer.

1135
01:27:43.580 --> 01:27:47.700
So God, you are big and we are small.

1136
01:27:47.700 --> 01:27:50.380
You are unlimited and we are limited.

1137
01:27:50.380 --> 01:27:53.740
You're infinite and we are finite.

1138
01:27:53.740 --> 01:27:58.980
We are humbled that in love you have stooped to conquer our hearts.

1139
01:27:58.980 --> 01:28:03.660
You have humbled yourself to become like one of us, to become close to us, to die on our

1140
01:28:03.660 --> 01:28:05.940
behalf, to be raised from the dead.

1141
01:28:05.940 --> 01:28:12.300
And so we, well, we look to you with eyes of admiration, Heavenly Father.

1142
01:28:12.300 --> 01:28:16.540
Eyes of admiration, eyes of appreciation and gladness.

1143
01:28:16.540 --> 01:28:17.660
Thank you.

1144
01:28:17.660 --> 01:28:21.660
You brought meaning and joy and purpose to our existence.

1145
01:28:21.660 --> 01:28:24.020
We honor your holy and beautiful name.

1146
01:28:24.020 --> 01:28:27.580
We do pray again for each one of us, but especially for the downs.

1147
01:28:27.580 --> 01:28:30.660
And with your eyes closed real quick, I want to tell you the service I was just at prayed

1148
01:28:30.660 --> 01:28:31.660
for us at this service.

1149
01:28:31.660 --> 01:28:36.420
It was a beautiful moment is in their grief and in remembering Marilyn Seth, they just

1150
01:28:36.420 --> 01:28:42.020
turned and said, Papa, loose a blessing on our brothers and sisters who are gathering

1151
01:28:42.020 --> 01:28:43.660
to remember and to grieve.

1152
01:28:43.660 --> 01:28:45.660
And so we're thankful for that grace, God.

1153
01:28:45.660 --> 01:28:49.980
We're thankful for the body of Christ, the love of friendship, the laughter.

1154
01:28:49.980 --> 01:28:54.500
And we're thankful that in you, the worst things are never the last things.

1155
01:28:54.500 --> 01:28:55.500
Amen.

1156
01:28:55.500 --> 01:28:56.500
Amen.

1157
01:28:56.500 --> 01:28:58.180

Thank you for being here.

1159
01:28:59.820 --> 01:29:01.100
Go ahead and visit with the family.

1160
01:29:01.100 --> 01:29:05.680
And then they've graciously prepared a little meal for us as well.

1161
01:29:05.680 --> 01:29:08.480
And then all of us would be open to conversation and talk about Glenn.

1162
01:29:08.480 --> 01:29:11.120
If you'd like to find me and talk about the Lord, you can do that as well.

1163
01:29:11.120 --> 01:29:13.800
It'd be my privilege to speak to you about him.

God, thank you so much that you are a daddy to us.

1547
01:57:13.960 --> 01:57:16.960
So much of our time as believers,

1548
01:57:16.960 --> 01:57:20.960
we can get lost in thinking that you are

1549
01:57:20.960 --> 01:57:21.960
just a book that we read.

1550
01:57:21.960 --> 01:57:23.960
You're a goal that we're trying to reach.

1551
01:57:23.960 --> 01:57:26.960
You're a place that we go to once a week.

1552
01:57:26.960 --> 01:57:27.960
You're a lifestyle.

1553
01:57:27.960 --> 01:57:30.960
You're some sort of worldview.

1554
01:57:30.960 --> 01:57:32.960
God, we can't lean on a worldview.

1555
01:57:32.960 --> 01:57:35.960
We can't cry to a book.

1556
01:57:35.960 --> 01:57:36.960
You're a father.

1557
01:57:36.960 --> 01:57:38.960
You're a good, good father.

1558
01:57:38.960 --> 01:57:41.960
And you're not loving us because we're good.

1559
01:57:41.960 --> 01:57:44.960
You're loving us because you're good.

1560
01:57:44.960 --> 01:57:46.960
God, the more we sing and the more we pray,

1561
01:57:46.960 --> 01:57:49.960
just remind us this is a conversation with a person.

1562
01:57:49.960 --> 01:57:50.960
A person that loves us,

1563
01:57:50.960 --> 01:57:54.960
that knows everything about us and loves us.

1564
01:57:54.960 --> 01:57:57.960
You deserve every breath that comes out of us.

1565
01:57:57.960 --> 01:58:00.960
Every word, every note we could ever sing is yours.

1566
01:58:00.960 --> 01:58:02.960
Thank you, God, that you're the one.

1567
01:58:02.960 --> 01:58:04.960
In Jesus' name, amen.

1568
01:58:20.960 --> 01:58:22.960

Sing it to us.

01:58:45.960 --> 01:58:47.960
Sing it to us.

1575
01:58:47.960 --> 01:58:53.960
Great are you, Lord.

1576
01:58:53.960 --> 01:58:58.960
Because it's your breath in our lungs.

1577
