Rufo was such a precious man. His ever-present smile, his love for Christ and his church were always evident. We are less because he is gone, but I look forward to seeing him when I get home. My prayers are for his family - all so precious too - that they will hear God speak His comfort to them and that they will sense His lovingkindness.
