My Mother died on Tuesday
Thursday, August 28, 2008 11:34 PM

Steeple Friends,

Please pray for me and my family. My mom died unexpectedly on Tuesday. I miss her so much already. I will be speaking some words at her memorial service on Saturday. Please pray for the Lord to be honored by this entire weekend, as friends and family from all over the country will be coming in to celebrate my mother's life. Most of all, please pray that the gospel will go forth into the hearts and lives of all those who do not yet trust Christ.

The part of the gospel about sin and death and judgment is particularly unsavory to the lost during a funeral.

 

At peace, because He has overcome the world,

B8 (B9 in time, Lord willing)

Still Breathing by the Grace of God

Hello, sterling, stellar Steeple stalwarts, All is well over in the B8 world these days, in case you were wondering. Skin testing, mixing allergy shots, giving allergy shots, training nurses, doing spirometry, giving breathing treatments, paying bills, paying more bills, paying some more bills, stopping to give thanks to God for the busy clinic days, new friends and new connections in this wonderful little town where we live, praying with my patients, seeing them cry with gladness toward God, writing prescriptions, making appointments, eating lunch at work, staying very late at work, typing my notes even still right now but had to take a break and say "hi." Praise the Lord for His goodness, glory, power, mercy, justice, sovereignty, kindness, compassion, gentleness, meekness, majesty. May you know Him more and more and be filled to fullness with the knowledge of HIm Who is beyond comprehension. Pre-mil folks still drool and post-mil folks still rule. :-) ChOL In Christ, B8
