Now we see but a poor reflection ….
1 Corinthians 13:12a
Allegory of faith, by L.S. Carmona (1752–53)
We’re grateful this Thanksgiving Day that we “walk by faith and not by sight.”
No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him.
1 Corinthians 2:9
Our sinful state of humanity obscures our vision. We’re unable to see clearly all that God has in store for us but we rest in the promises of His Word. Only in eternity will all be made known and our faithfulness fully rewarded.
Now we see but a poor reflection; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully….
1 Corinthians 13:12
May you experience a JOYFUL and BLESSED Thanksgiving Day.

Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.

Diane and Ed Hamill
Our long time friend, Ed Hamill, was tragically killed in an automobile accident last Saturday. Ed was alone in the car when an oncoming vehicle swerved into his lane and hit the car he was driving head-on.
Ed was an amazing man. He and his wife, Diane, are pictured above when they came for a visit and to pray with Irene last February.
I call Ed a friend, a colleague, and mentor. He counseled me for years when I was making critical life and career decisions. I spoke to him on the telephone last week and he once again spoke wisdom and encouragement into my life.
We also call Ed a zealous follower of Jesus Christ. He served an audience of One. Ed has “graduated” and is in Heaven with God …. now and forevermore. He finished strong …. loving and serving God with all of his heart, mind, soul and strength. We will miss him but will see him again when the Lord sees fit to call each of us home.
Ed’s tragic and untimely death is a reminder that this earth is not our home.
We love you Ed, and look forward to our great reunion with you someday.
Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.
