I heard the sad news this morning that a friend of mine, Mack Osburn passed away last night at his home. I'm only sad because I know what a great gift Mack was to the Cornerstone and Emmaus communities. He was one of the most transparent Christians I ever met. Mack wasn't afraid to share his heart with anyone about the way he loved God, and had come to depend on him.
Mack and I only knew each other for a short time, just a couple of years, but many times during that time he would leave me notes or letters or voice mails, encouraging me in ministry. Sometimes he wouldnt sign them, like I wouldn't recognize his hand writing.
I used to kid him all the time because he was always carrying his bible, and often would walk off without it. He'd call the church and asked if anyone had seen it. Sometimes I think he did it on purpose so people would have to talk about Jesus to him.
He was a sweet man who LOVED working with youth, trying his best to help them understand the importance of having God in their lives.
I wish we had met sooner, before I was appointed out in KC, because I think we could have had a great time in ministry. None the less, today I am missing him....
Godspeed my friend, well done good and faithful servant.....
