Tonight we got word that our friend and colleague, Kevin, died from the injuries he sustained in yesterday’s car accident.  Kevin is with Jesus.  Nothing new there…  He always was with Jesus…. because… Kevin belongs, body and soul, in life and in death to his faithful Savior…. and so do Shari and the kids… and so do we.

My hope is for the day that will come when  “…God will wipe every tear from our eyes.  There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain…”  Revelation 21:4.

That hope, for those who belong to Jesus, is today’s gift.
