It certainly is sad day!!

I have lost a good friend. My son Matthew and I were in to see him on Friday afternoon and he was doing well. The news that he passed away early this morning was a blow. My son thought a lot of him as he taught him at Northeast Christian College and also preached the graduation service for his class.

May the strength of God be with his family.

I heard that he was 49. Sad indeed for his church and family, wonderful for him.
The funeral service is Wed. at 2:00
He loved his church and his young people. I only wish I would have told him more often how much I appreciated how he got so involved with his church kids.

I have been thinking about this since I read the news if the elder's passing...

What is the climate in N.B., as far as young men being able to take the helm when a tragedy happens or the senior elders go their reward?!

Are there any up and coming men and women willing and able to step up to the plate and do the needed work?!

Climate?...hit and miss. Depend on where you are. There are some churches grooming youth...some choking them. Sad but true. And I am talking about many denominations.

One would hope that people called by the Name of the Lord would not choke the youth...that is tragic. They are not just the Church of tomorrow...they are the Church of today.

Not only do we need them, but they need us. How will they ever learn if we do not teach them and show them the Way?!

We were singing, "Here I Am To Worship" yesterday morning as the service took a real deep turn into worship and I looked out and saw Felicity's mother standing with hands raised and seriously loving God and I thought to myself, that is how you teach.

Yes, amen!!

My mother-in-law loves her church and loves to worship the Lord. I'm sure she was reaching out to the Lord for strength as she is coping with a sister who is having serious physical problems and a niece who is dying with liver cancer, and with whom she spent more than an hour counseling over the telephone before she went to church yesterday morning.
