He Is NOT Dead, Just Gone
my friend Stan Lynn died last night (but lives, he is not no more, just gone) he was sick and wasn’t getting better and sixteen months of COVID lockdown it has faded the memory of unseen faces most of what I remember of Stan is how on Sundays he would talk of his old days back in his old country with his band playing at Saturday evening dances and ever faithful, at Sunday morning worship the same lips playing the same trumpet but the eyes, those glorious eyes of his alive! blazing with the joy of his salvation God was no theory for Stan, He was real is more real now, and his trumpet glorious!
Even though I made up the bit about Stan playing at Sunday’s worship after Saturday’s dances, it fits quite well with what I learned of Stan over the years that I knew him. He loved to play and he loved his God.
May your trumpet ever praise our God!
