Wakes and Revival

There is a time for everything here on this earth. We were given the opportunity to celebrate the journey into Heaven for the father of one of Eric's co-workers. There was a week long opportunity to view the body and say farewell. This family also chose to have nightly revival/evangelistic services for loved ones. Then, after one week, the body was transferred to the cemetery via hearse, while all the family and friends followed along behind, walking. It was a wonderful time of reflection on this particular man's diligent journey, leaving for his children a wonderful legacy of faith in God. It was also a wonderful opportunity to share the gospel with many, many people.

Please pray for Judy and her family while they mourn the passing of their beloved father.

Sorry to hear about your loss, but so glad to hear you will someday meet again.

Heather is getting married at mom and dad's. The yard looks amazing. Wish you could be here. I bet Mari would love all the twinkle lights! And, I bet the boys would just love to swim. :)
