sigh...since retrospring is getting shut down next year...im gonna prepare my speech. We are here today to pay our tribute and our respect to a man of God, our brother, retrospring. Not only have people from this congregation and community gathered, but many ministers have come… ministers who have respected retrospring as a minister, and have loved him as a friend. To know retrospring was to love him! It is our human nature to want to understand everything now, but TRUST requires that we lean and rely heavily on God even when things seem unclear. Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

I’m not going to tell you not to cry or not to experience emotions. Emotions are God-given. They are a part of who we are.
