The Hope We Have

When I was in North Carolina I visited New Bern the first capitol of the state. In the church cemetery I came across the following tombstone.

This Tablet
Is Inscribed to the Memory of
MARY
Relict of James McKinlny
Departed this Life in the 64 Year of Her Life
On the Fifth Day of October
A.D.1810

"If we believe that Jesus died and rose again
even so them also which sleep in Jesus will
God bring with him." I Thess 4th chapter 14 verse

We are connected to Mary McKinlny and her family who laid her in the grave one hundred and ninety seven years ago knowing that Jesus would return with her one day. Today in 2007 we are living with the same HOPE knowing that one day Christ will return either for us or with us.

The Steadfast Love of the Lord

Thank you Lord on Thanksgiving Day!

Our Marriage

November 15, 2007 marks Helen and I twenty seventh anniversary. There is noway we could even have guessed in are wildest dreams things God had in store for us. All the credit for us being together 27 years later goes to GOD. We have done everything we could to destroy our marriage. But because we put our hope in GOD 27 years ago HE has kept us together and we thank HIM.
