This week's newsletter from Gene

Words are inadequate to express thanks to all of you for the tremendous support over the past 38 years, but you outshined yourselves these past 6 months as Lynn was battling leukemia. "By this shall all (men) know that you are My disciples, if you love one another (if you keep on showing love among yourselves). John 13:35 AMP

Even to the casual observer, it should be obvious that you are His disciples as great love has been shown. The impact of all of us living what should be the normal Christian life is very distinctive in today's world.

The outpouring of support at Lynn's memorial celebration service was amazing. Obviously standing room only in the auditorium, with 600-650 attending and another 264 more watching the stream from various parts of the country. She wondered many times if people even liked her. We can all learn that being faithful to the life you believe the Lord would have you lead should be the "normal" Christian life.

This journey was not one of our choosing, but the Lord's. In His wisdom, He knew for her life to have the most impact, this was the road and time He chose. My prayer is that her life and death would not be in vain, but that each person touched by this journey will simply ask the Lord, "what would you have me do?" And then do it.
