Ethan

Dear friends,

Our brother Ethan, that we were talking about in our last Bible study has passed from this life and is now in the presence of God. We have peace knowing that the presence of God is the best place anybody can ever be. The Bible says that as believers, "We live by faith, not by sight. We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord." (2Corinthians 5:7,8). But it's still hard for his wife Anne and his children, so if you could take some time to pray for them, that would be really good. And if you are interested in getting updates from Anne, she said she will try to continue blogging. Here's what she wrote after he left..

We have a God who comforts those in need and defends the weak (as we sang so many times in one of our favorite songs, "Everlasting God") so we are confident that He will comfort Anne and their kids. But I know God can also use our prayers and words of encouragement.
