I want to apologize for my absence the last couple of days, but I have been busy.

I feel bittersweetness about the passing of Mrs. Graham, as I know her husband and children will miss her physically, but sweet because I know she is now in eternity with the Lord she served so well all her life.

Something else has happened that I have been witness to and I am so happy about it I just can’t stop smiling.

A dear couple we know have accepted Jesus as their Savior and we are so very happy for them and want to encourage them to build their faith.

Certainly the angels in Heaven are rejoicing at the spiritual birth of these new saints, and the topping on the cake is the homecoming of Mrs. Ruth Bell Graham, a woman I have admired for a long time and wish I could be half the Christian she was.

God has been good to me all my life, but I have experienced such a thrill and blessing this week that I can barely contain it all.
