waiting for that phone call

It's the call that you dread, but you know is coming. I just got that call. Andy's Grandfather has gone home to be with the Lord. He was an amazing man and a tremendous example to Andy and his family. He will be so greatly missed. We were so fortunate to be able to spend time with him, really on his last day that he was really well last Monday. That's when I took this great picture of him with his newest great-grandson, Owen. We Love you, Papa Sam. We look forward to seeing you in glory.

When Grandma Rachel and Uncles Bob and Don went to the funeral home to do all the details, they had to choose a vault for the casket to be placed in for burial. (state law) They had a choice of steel or concrete, the steel being more expensive. Grandma told me they decided to trust the resurrection and went with the concrete vault. Yeah, we’ve been doing a lot of talking about the resurrection of the body around here lately. What an amazing thing we have to look forward to!

You know, so very few people said anything to us about the resurrection of the dead, let alone the resurrection of the body. It was only 4 days after Easter, too.

I think that I’m going to read Rob’s text message from the pulpit when I preach on 1 Cor 15:50-58 on the 13th. He was the only one who exhorted me to believe in the resurrection.

We’re so sorry for your loss. That really is a beautiful picture, what a blessing to have captured it. You’ll all be in our prayers and our home (and kitchen, does anyone need a meal?) will be open to anyone in the family that needs it.

We love you guys. We look to the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come, Amen.
