death is not dying

A woman I know is dying. She is my age. She is beautiful. She is kind and generous and, from what I know of her, amazing. She is not really my friend but I know her and she knows me. In early March she shared her story in front of hundreds of women and I had the privilege of leading worship that night. The event took place at the River Rock Casino. I led worship at a casino theatre. Rachel talked about Jesus. Those things don't often go together but it happened and it was amazing. The event was called Death is not Dying. Since that night the video of Rachel's talk has circulated the globe and many people have found themselves touched by her story. Since then a website has been launched containing the video and some letters Rachel wrote during her first bout of cancer and a few from her current battle. Go there. Read and listen and allow God to transform you. Death is not Dying.
