I just got word that Shane Brue passed away yesterday. I knew him from my time working in the Doctor of Ministry Office at Asbury and is also the brother-in-law of my good friend, Juli Peak. Shane was diagnosed with colon cancer in July of 2006 and has been fighting hard ever since. He leaves behind is wife, Jill, and their 5 precious children. The last time I saw Shane and the family was at Juli's wedding which coincidentally was one year ago today. Please pray for the Brue family as well as the church he's been pastoring the last year and a half, First UMC in Big Spring, TX.
