Keeping Things in Perspective

Just read Hebrews 1 and was struck with how absurd it is to live for this life only. In verses 11 and 12 we are told that this world "will wear out like old clothing." "They (the foundations) will fade away like old clothing." God "will roll it up like a worn out coat."

One day this world as we know it will be thrown away and God will make the new heaven and new earth and we who know him will experience life as He intended it. What a pity it is for those who have traded the life which is coming for this present life, which is only a shadow of things to come and will one day fade away - wear out like an old coat. 

Let us who believe give our lives away to help others find and follow Christ.

God's Grace Is Enough

We are traveling back home today from Kentucky to our home and we look forward to seeing everyone in our church family. This has been an emotionally challenging week and today has probably been the most difficult - letting go. 
My family has expressed on numerous occasions how grateful they are for your constant prayer support. God literally granted each of us His peace that is beyond comprehension. My cousin, Dan Walker, said it best, "No one has taken mom and dad's life from them. Mom and Dad gave it away for their family and friends a long time ago." Through their life, I, and many many others, saw what a family could be. Through their death I had the privilege of telling others what made them so special. My aunt and Uncle will live on not just in my memories but in my character and in the lives of my children, grandchildren, and their children.
Please continue to keep us in your prayers. Pray specifically the Lord will deliver us from the evil one - we are not ignorant of his schemes. 
Thanks again for your love and support.
