Family Matters

Nope, this has nothing to do with Steve Urkel.

Actually, I just wanted to share something that's going on in my life. My father took my grandmother to the hospital yesterday morning. She passed away earlier today.

We were close, especially when growing up, as she lived just a couple blocks away. I will miss her, but I'm at peace.

She was in a great deal of pain, and had been for some time. In fact, I don't think she's been in constant pain for about a year, to varying degrees. She's comfortable now. She's at peace. The greatest blessing in this matter is knowing that she accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior long ago, and had a very real, personal relationship with him for many years. She now gets to spend the rest of eternity praising and glorifying the name of Jesus in His very presence.

Praise God!


In other, less earth-shaking, news, I did not in fact begin work with the Miners this week. Due to technical issues, I will (hopefully) start work there next Monday. I was informed of this change on Sunday afternoon, and was somewhat bummed about it at the time. In the wake of other events this week, I thank God that he gave me the opportunity to be with my family this week.
