Rev. Randy Gragg, a frequent contributor to these lists and host of the Firestorm Suite at the Ft. Wayne symposium when his health was still such that he could participate, has been released from the effects of sin that so tormented him for most of this past decade. Pastor Gragg a focused and quick-witted contender for God's Word and has already been sorely missed by many during his illness, but now is even more sorely missed by those who were closest to him. There are many who owe him a great debt for the work our Lord had him do who will never know it this side of Heaven; for those who *do* recognize it, this is a time of mourning, yet of mourning mollified by the confidence that Randy believed what he preached and shall be raised up to stand with all who trust in the Christ on the Last Day, body and soul glorifying the Blessed Holy Trinity forevermore.
