Today, after driving home from picking the boys up from school, I stopped
to help a young lady change a tire. Teresa (I hope that I got that right),
has had a run of bad news. Obviously, the tire, then and exhusband who
decided to take things from her home for his addiction to be supported,
vehicle damaged and in need of repairs, children's education difficulty
as well as a washing machine issue. I do not bring up this with Teresa
to make me out to be some great guy that is doing great things... I hope
that this will spark others to do the kind thing, as well as pray for
her and her needs.

Sunday, at church... fantastic
day for the Lord. He has had close on 60 people, in ONE SERVICE, commit
their lives to Him in Baptism. For the entire weekend services combined,
somewhere near 200 people have given their lives to Him. This, on the
same day as many of you reading this, are thinking about doing the same.
The time you wait, could be the time that He comes back to call His own.
I don't know what Heaven really has in store, except for the words of
my Great Granddaddy, 10 minutes after they pronounced him dead. He awoke,
clutching my Great Ganny's hand and said... it's just like they say, streets
of gold, land of milk and honey. He told her, it isn't her time, she needed
to be patient, and that he would wait... then he passed. WOW, chills to
this day. I only hope that God sees fit for me to be near my family, my
wife and boys. I would be happy to be the maid that cleans my wife's mansion,
if that is what it takes to be near her.

Wendy Durnwald, who is one of the staff members at Horizon Christian Academy
has a Grandmother that recently passed away. When I first heard this,
just like you, it made my heart sad. Well, not that my heart doesn't feel
sad now, I do... except in a strange way... I feel happy. You see, this
story has a happy ending, at least to me. Grandmother (umm, I don't know
her name), lost her husband a good number of years back to Alzheimer's,
a terrible disease. Well, Grandmother manages to continue on, joining
different clubs and groups, staying extremely active and on her own. At
age, get this, age 95, she takes ill and passes away. Now, obviously,
it is very sad that she has passed away, but think of what a wonderful
life she must have had. Roughly 95 years old, the things she has seen,
the things she now is seeing. What a great life story to share with those
in heaven, to share with her husband that passed years ago. God never
forgets about you or me, and He must have thought she had been away from
her husband long enough. Sad that she is gone, yes... but happy that she
had the life she did.
