Ohhh… I didn’t catch that. You’re too subtle!

Thanks Wolffe – is that the right way to spell your name? I’ve been getting it wrong for a long time, if so!

Man, it seems like I have been gone an age. I am looking forward to getting home, but still lots of work here to help mom make the adjustments and deal with the estate. Thanks for your prayers. My daughter’s passed on a message from your son. Tell him thanks, and I am really looking forward to seeing him on Sunday.

Maranatha!

Thank you Don for being a faithful Pastor to our church family as you have been a faithful son to your father and mother.

May God bless you this day.

Again, thanks to all. Our immediate family is all gathered here, the funeral is this afternoon.

One answer to prayer, my uncle has agreed to come. My mom called him personally and he just couldn’t say no to her. They were best buddies when they were little kids, so he’s coming. Pray that the gospel might pierce through his hard shell.

The service is at 2pm Mountain Time. I’ll post more later.

Maranatha!

I’ve Gone Home

I’ve gone home to see my Father,
I’ve gone home, so don’t you cry
I’ll be waiting for you in Heaven,
In my mansion prepared on high.

No more sickness, no more sorrow,
No more pain, and no more grief.
I’ve gone home to be with Jesus
Though my sojourn here was brief.

I’ve gone home to live in Heaven
With all the blessed saints of old,
Here with Abraham and David
To stroll through streets of gold.

I’ve gone home to be in Heaven
Where there’s no sadness, and no night.
There is joy and peace unending,
In this blissful land of light.

But there’s something else more beautiful,
So precious, beyond this crystal sea,
As I wander through realms of glory
I find my Saviour walks with me.

I’ve gone home to be in Heaven,
Though you miss me, and tears abound,
Just keep believing in God’s promises,
And listening for that trumpet sound.

Because one day in God’s timing
When the Lord calls out your name
Look to the skies in awe and wonder –
We’ll see each other again.

An adapted final chorus of this poem:

I’ve gone home to see my Father,
I’ve gone home, so don’t you cry
I’ll be waiting for you in Heaven,
Where no tears will dim the eye.

Precious in the sight of the LORD
is the death of His saints.
Psalm 116:15

Will be praying that as the family gathers God will be glorified and that hearts will be open to hearing and receiving God’s Word.

Hi Brad

Thanks for the note. I am at the airport waiting for the kids. Looks like their flight is early, so should see them soon.

Maranatha!
