In Loving Memory of Annalis Renee Brown - April 9, 2004

Daughter of Paula & Jess Brown. Sister of Cody, Daniel & Courtney and Autumn Marie who went ahead of her on Feb. 20, 2003.

What are you trying to tell us, little Annalis Renee? Your tiny finger seems to beckon to us.

We've lived long lives, much more than your short 348 minutes. How could you tell us anything?

Are you special? Are you so precious that the Creator of the universe gave His life for you? Is He now snuggling you in His arms?

Are we special too? Are we so precious that He has carved us in the palm of His hand? Yes! This is the truth. We believe and trust.

How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, "Your God reigns! Isaiah 52:7

Yes! we will endure. We will bear the cross. God is our refuge and our strength, a very present help in trouble. We will spread the news.

Our God reigns!
