So when this corruptible shall have put … Continue reading The Sting of Death
Letter To A Friend
Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. Romans 12:15 One of the things that ministered to me the most after Hans left us, was the genuine sorrow people shared with us. It is a sweet joy when folks are brave enough to let me know Hans mattered to them, too. … Continue reading Letter To A Friend
Re-Post: The Crux of the Matter
Without the Resurrection, if Jesus did not rise bodily from the dead, then our departed son is also dead, just dead - and the whole churchy Bible thing is a bogus fabrication.

Revised Post: Sure
Experiencing the wrenching pain of child loss has helped me to recognize more fully that most grieving people have an intense need for hope, for assurance that they will someday be reunited with their loved ones. Assurance and hope based on facts leads to peace and can take the edge off grief when it threatens … Continue reading Revised Post: Sure

“I’ll Be Right Back”
"Christ's resurrection is a promise of victory over death and the grave for all who know Jesus as Lord and Savior." The other night in prayer meeting, we were taking turns reading scripture.
