Good Morning, God,
The headlines reveal the loss of another influential gentleman from among us in Jasper and the surrounding area, Earl Metzger. He wasn't a young man that we mourn his untimely death, but we mourn his loss, just the same, for Earl and his life's work has touched our lives, influenced the way we think, and let us know what is going on in Dubois County and the world.
Lord, you gave Earl the grace to endear himself to those who worked for him, only it seemed that they worked with him. You caused people to look to him as a mentor, even as a father-figure. You caused Earl to be a faithful witness to you through his church, his life and the airwaves. Lord, you caused Earl to put these prayers and other devotional pieces on the air, worrying only that they would give you the glory.
Lord, Earl will be missed by his loyal staff, by his listeners and by those with whom he came in contact professionally. Most of all, Earl will be missed by his family: his wife Sylvia, his sons Nick and Luke, his brother Robert and his grandchildren Cameron, Lillyanna, Ryan, Cloey and others, including especially his WITZ family.
Bless all those who grieve this day, Lord, and thank you for the life of Earl Metzger.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
