1 Thessalonians 4:13 – 18 “13 But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. 15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of {the} archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.”
I'm so sorry to hear about your friends death. Death is inevitable, but still so hard to deal with when it touches us. I just prayed for you and those who knew and loved this lady. Lynnette
I attended the funeral yesterday afternoon. It was really something special. The head of the school where she taught read a really "bad" poem by one of the kids in her class. It was quite moving.
I'm continuing to pray for her husband, Sean, my dear friend, who she leaves behind her.
What am I? How does one answer that question?
I write, but am I a writer? I study, but am I a student?
I teach, but am I a teacher?
I am a lay minister, public speaking trainer, cell group leader, and much more.
And in my spare time I am a lawyer to fund all my other activities.
But above all, I want to be Faithful In Serving HIM. So all I reveal about myself is that I want to be a FISH.
Prayers for you. This so so hard. Been there.

I am sorry for your loss. I had a student who died too young. Our loss is Heaven's gain. Truly.
