"And it won't break my heart to say goodbye"

Thanks to my friend, I was made aware that ten years ago today Rich Mullins left this world. While I don't remember where I was when I heard the news, I know it affected me greatly. I had been listening to Christian music for only about 2 years prior to that, but I had such a liking for Rich and his music that his death had an impact on me.

I loved the music, including the dulcimer in many of his songs (the intro to "Sing Your Praise to the Lord" has to be the greatest). And his lyrics- they have been the cries of my heart to God many times. My favorite song has to be "Hold Me Jesus."

And I will echo my friend's sentiments- he would have been a great man to know. Maybe I'll go read a biography of him...my faith is in need of strengthening.
