ord just in from Tucson that another friend has passed from this life to life everlasting. Chuck Ballard, sound man/techie at First Church in Tucson (where my friend Briget is pastor), notified us two weeks ago that he had entered hospice - and now he is dead. Life is so unpredictable and nothing - absolutely nothing - can be taken for granted. It is all grace upon grace - and the dark times are part of the bargain.Chuck loved his motorcycle, supported our old Tucson band, Stranger, and helped us work sound on many, many events. He was almost mortally wounded in a motorcycle accident 5 years ago but came away to live another day. He was a fierce supporter of the work of the United Church of Christ in the desert Southwest and loved his adopted family of Briget, Abbey and Gabby. Rest in peace, dear man, rest in peace.
