William Bronner Burgess Memorial

The ceremony for William Bronner Burgess was touching and moving. Rick Burgess gave a very moving sermon.
He said "Bronner is now in the care of the only father who loves him more than me." Rick looked out to the church and jokingly told the crowd Bronner never got to attend big church and now all of you are here to celebrate his life in this big church.
People packed Shades Mountain Baptist Church full. It seats 2500 people.
Rick used his sermon as a time to bring people to Christ. Bubba and Speedy even told the Rick and Bubba audience during the morning broadcast the way to help Rick and Sherri Burgess through this difficult time is get your spiritual life in order.
Rick talked about how many people came up to him during the visitation last night and how this tragedy has already changed their lives in their walk with Christ.
Rick did something today that some parents may never be able to do-spoke at their child's memorial service-he credited that to the Glory of God. He said he wasn't standing there God was standing there holding him up.

I have the upmost respect for Burgess family and am praying for them through this difficult time. I hope that everyone who reads this will do the same and just lift up the family and the Rick and Bubba Show.
