The Good Fight (Funeral)

Contributed by Ron Kelly on Mar 22, 2012

WE TEND TO LOOK AT CANCER – AS THIS HUGE, INSURMOUNTABLE MONSTER (AND IN SOME WAYS…) THAT’S VERY TRUE!

I’D LIKE TO START OFF THIS SERVICE BY FIRST ACKNOWLEDGING THAT: A LOSS, IS THE DISAPPEARANCE OF SOMETHING CHERISHED! BEREAVEMENT, IS THE STATE OF BEING DEPRIVED OF SOMETHING! GRIEF, IS THE NORMAL RESPONSE TO A LOSS! AND THEN OF COURSE MOURNING – REFERS TO THE OUTWARD EXPRESSION OF GRIEF! NOW, ...read more

Jesus Died Series

Contributed by Jeffery Anselmi on Apr 13, 2012

Contributed by Guy Mcgraw on Mar 5, 2012

Paul wrote so much to remind and encourage about what it meant to live beyond this life and how we should celebrate that truth that the world cannot understand.

War, persecution, disease and lack of medical advances made death a constant reality. Paul wrote so much to ...read more
