One of those names that will always remind me of our youth at Murray's Bay Baptist. RIP Vaughan.

I was thinking about you the other day and when I looked you up, came across your obit. I´m sorry to read you are gone, but rejoice that you are with Jesus. Praise him with the sax!

I miss you terribly. I know you're beyond well so I won't wish that for you. I can't imagine honestly how amazing things are there and the people you've encountered and the knowing you now possess. I'm so jealous. I wish it had been me and not you who won the trip. I know you and Dave Beck and Ricky Valenzuela are all admiring the surroundings. And most of all, you all see Him face-to-face. Oh you know me, I'm watching like the watchman I was made to be. Things are crazy here. You all will be coming back soon I believe.
Me? I'm ok. Been writing up a storm. Some good blog articles and a ton of really good songs. BTW- thank you for pushing me and encouraging me along the way. I wish you had phones there, I miss our long chats. My boys? David's little Maci is about to be 7 and Aaron has a little boy now, Cayden Michael Bliss. Aaron is Director of Construction for Habitat's for Humanity here. He's become quite the man. David is making films and commercials in South Carolina. My dad's 93. Still going but getting old.
BTW, did my DNA, I'm pure Ashkenazi Jew on my father's side. Cohen's and Levi, Katz, etc. Line goes back well over 27 generations. Crazy, huh? But you probably know that by now.
Well, I need to go for now. I'm sure you've got much going on as well. If you wouldn't mind, as a favor, could you ask Abba if He'd send me some of the sounds and songs of deliverance? I'd like to write a few here before I leave. I love and miss you deeply my great and precious friend, my little brother. Shalom, shalom! L'hitraot, Cheers... Steven
