Gone For Awhile

I will be out of town attending a funeral.

If you want to pray, please pray for…

The parents of the deceased as they bury their oldest child. They are fragile.

The husband of the deceased. He is a slick, pony-tailed, divorce lawyer who loved his wife dearly and gently served her throughout her illness. He is devastated to lose her, and he does not know the Lord well enough yet to look to Him for comfort.

Thank you.

Feel free to continue your conversations in the previous posts.

Unbelievable!

This is an actual, real quote from a blog that apparently does not allow the comments of women:

“This is a blog, not an organisation. It’s a fellowship of like-minded local men in Christ, intended for mutual instruction, admonition, and edification. Because it is a plenary meeting of members of the body of Christ and because instruction will be involved, I will not allow a woman to teach on the blog so as not to risk violating the NT restriction in I Timothy 2:12. However, we welcome sisters to ‘audit’ the discussion and take these matters up with their fellow sisters in Christ and their husband at home.”

It is so hard for me to believe that people actually think this way!
