Last Sunday we sang All I Have is Christ together in response to the sermon.  There are three things that you might not know about that song and more particularly – about the author.

1)  My friend Jordan Kauflin wrote that song.  Jordan is Bob Kauflin’s son and I’ve known Jordan for many years through our friendship with the Kauflins.  Jordan is a fine drummer and we have had the chance to serve on different worship teams together.  Jordan is also now a fine songwriter and many have been encouraged by this song to trust fully and only in Christ.

2)  My friend Jordan and his wife Tali found out just last week that their son Jack has leukemia.  I think we all can imagine that the shock of this hit hard. While all reports are that Jordan and Tali are trusting in God (you can read an update from Tali on her blog here) at this time, they can use our prayers.  Please pray for complete healing for Jack.  Please pray for wisdom and direction.  Please pray for God’s comfort for their little boy and the Kauflin family.  Also, please pray that God would be glorified through it all.

3)  Finally, Jordan is currently a student at the Pastors College and a classmate of Albert’s.  Please pray that God will use Alb and Jen and those around Jordan and Tali to minister to them.  Last year, while we attended the PC, we had a family go through a significant medical trial and how wonderful it was to see God’s grace poured out on them in the context of loving and supporting friends.

We know that the Kauflin’s will experiencing the deep love and grace of God and pray toward this end.

Grace,

Eric
