So there was a sombre atmosphere in Zac's last night. For those who wondered if God understood fear, depression, hopelessness, for us all, Sean had us read from Matthew 26:36-46, where, in Gethsemane, Jesus laments, 'My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death.'
We lit candles in Andy's memory, in defiance of the darkness that would steal our peace because darkness cannot overcome the light.
And death shall have no dominion.

Sharing your sadness. One of our kids put on his attendance slip that he was praying for his Dad "because he went to heaven." His Dad had died the day before after a long battle with leukemia.
DH lost a client on Sat morning, someone who had a sad life but had turned a corner, now at lasting peace. Perfect peace.
(Possibly having a chat with the other newbie in Heaven?)
THanks, trubes.
