Family news

We found out yesterday that Somer's great-aunt died after a lengthy fight with a debilitating illness. i didn't really know her all that well, but i do know that she died in Christ. and God has promised that the dead in Christ will rise again, so we have that hope for Marian. It's a strong reminder of how much life is going on all around us, even while we're super-consumed with ourselves and the preparations we need to make for London. We aren't able to make it to the funeral on Friday because of needing to get ready to leave, and it reminds us that there will probably be many more important family milestones that we will miss while in London.

The Spirit and the Bride say
Come!
and let him who hears say
Come!
Whoever is thirsty, let him
Come!
and whoever wishes, let him
Take!
the free gift of the water of LIFE

Drink deeply, Aunt Marian!
