Lately, I had the opportunity to walk into the Murphy’s driveway a few times. Each time, I peeked inside Steve’s car, I yearn so much to seeing his beautiful face but when I do not see it, I weep and ask: “Why God”. I did not get a satisfactory answer and I do not think that I will ever get one in this life – may be in the life after when Steve tells me about his reunion with God. <br />On another note, love your story in the paper, loved the pictures and look forward to the big day.

"what isn't there ...Ian, you are SO right:<br />"what isn't there to look forward to?" <br />No eye has seen and no ear has heard and no mind has ever conceived...<br /><br />Have you ever not seen a friend for a while and when you see your friend again, it's like no time has passed between you?...you just pick up right where you left off!<br />Since we will be in heaven for all eternity, I think there is no passage or measure of time in heaven...like we'll get there and Steve will just turn around and say, "Oh, hi!" as if he's just seen us a little bit ago...<br />well, that's my imagination, anyway!<br />:-)<br /><br />Still Praying!<br /><br />Mary Ann K.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35753836.post-21048945791517391482010-02-18T19:10:06.743-05:002010-02-18T19:10:06.743-05:00I've been following Ian's progress on this...I've been following Ian's progress on this blog for several years now. So happy about the upcoming nuptials! Thank you for this post about heaven. Next week will be 2 years since my brother was killed in a coal mining accident at age 50. I long for the day I can see him again in heaven and now, I don't feel so bad about having those thoughts. This life is truly just a mist, a brief vapor if you will, preparing us for the glory that awaits us when we will worship the Almighty King forever....cathynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35753836.post-74725245871531189512010-02-17T20:00:37.851-05:002010-02-17T20:00:37.851-05:00I'm looking forward to being your friend in He...I'm looking forward to being your friend in Heaven!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14187471241441993074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35753836.post-32285370462933003722010-02-17T14:52:36.229-05:002010-02-17T14:52:36.229-05:00Our Friday morning ladies group read through Randy...Our Friday morning ladies group read through Randy Alcorn's book entitled "Heaven."<br /><br />While reading through it, I realized a had previously had a very small view of what Heaven would be like....lacking imagination.

My niece sent me to this site, I promptly saved it in my favorites and have kept you all in my prayers since then. <br /><br />I'm posting today b/c I want to share with you how this blog has touched yet another life, namely mine. As I mentioned above, I began reading the blog shortly before Steve's passing. My own father was diagnosed with non-small cell carcinoma on October 15, 2009 and passed away from it on December 13, 2009. My father did not have the assurance of salvation that Steve had, however, I'm confident that the Lord saved him at some point in his life... I believe it was shortly before his death... even through his death.<br /><br />Reading this blog has been almost therapeutic for me, and I thank you for keeping up with it and blessing so many through your great trials... those trials triumphantly overcome through Christ, and those you are currently enduring for His glory... considering it all joy and seeing the blessings in the storms.<br /><br />Today's post reminded me of one I had posted about my father during Christmas time and I thought it may be encouraging to you. I am going to link you to it.<br /> http://avoidingthecouch.blogspot.com/2009/12/best-christmas-ever.html<br /><br />I'm not sure if you post links here, but I wanted to share this with you. I'm also not certain that you'll even want to share this with your readers, but I felt compelled to send the message to you personally. <br /><br />Peace and Blessings to all of you, <br />~ Andreaupcyclehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12088721708722228743noreply@blogger.com
