Mike just lays there, getting weaker and weaker.
His breath becomes slower and shallower.
His wife lays right there beside him, our older brother and our sister also stay in the room. He is surrounded by his closest family we pray for him, and cry, and hold his hand. I hope and pray it won't be much longer. I am so grateful for the prayers going up around the world.
Receive, O Lord, Your servant, for he returns to You.
Into Your hands, O Lord, we commend our brother Michael.
Wash him in the holy font of everlasting life, and clothe
him in his heavenly wedding garment.
Into Your hands, O Lord, we commend our brother Michael.
May he hear Your words of invitation, "Come, you blessed of my Father."
Into Your hands, O Lord, we commend our brother Michael.
May he gaze upon You, Lord, face to
Face, and taste the blessedness of perfect rest.
Into Your hands, O Lord, we commend our brother Michael.
May angels surround him , and saints welcome him in peace.
Into Your hands, O Lord, we commend our brother Michael.
To all who visit MIT's blog we got the following word from our church last night (4/5/2006)that Mike finally passed on to his heavenly home.
My Friends in Prayer,
Mike Hall passed away this evening.
O merciful Father, who hast taught us in thy holy Word that thou dost not willingly afflict or grieve the children of men: Look with pity upon the sorrows of thy servants for whom our prayers are offered. Remember the Hall family, O Lord, in mercy, nourish their souls with patience, comfort them with a sense of thy goodness, lift up thy countenance upon them, and give them peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

My name is Jeremy. I come by way of a friend (homohusbandry) And I come in peace and offer my prayers and support, as one on the journey with you.
Know that you and your brother and family are in my thoughts and prayers.
May God bless Michael, and may the angels of light be with him as he faces the light of God and may God hold him in the palm of his hand forver blessed in the light of love.
Peace,
Jeremy

Our prayers remain with you and dwell with you , brother, in this sad time. Sometimes, the only consolation is the presence of others who love one another and who love Christ. Pax et bonum.

It sounds to me like you angels are surrounding him now.
Peace, Lord, to all who seek peace!
