To all blog readers,
There is a group started on Facebook for anyone interested in committing to pray for Grace and the family every day up until Easter Sunday. You can log on to Facebook and type in the group "Prayer for Andrew's Family" and sign up for a time slot. Please, come and join us in lifting Grace and her family up to the throne of the King!

Thanks for sharing. We sincerely appreciated your pastor's eternal perspective.

Thanks again for including us in your lives. We miss having you in Seattle but feel like we've been part of your lives every step of the way through this journey. Your openness and transparency through this blog has been an amazing testimony.

Grace,
I used to work for Andrew's father Dave, and had seen Andrew grown up in our church, RCCC, until he left. First met you at your wedding- what a beautiful bride!!

I composed a poem, emailed to Andrew's address, so that the impact of his story can continue on.....

Dearest Grace,

We are praying and we love you. Wish we could see you and give you a big hug. Heaven will be a wonderful reunion for all of us, won't it?

Thankful to the Lord for you and Andrew,

Todd, Julie and family

Dearest Grace,

Thank you for posting Sunday's Sermon. We have listened to our friend, Bob, deliver with such clarity, passion and conviction a beautiful description of the gospel and the intimacy gained with our Savior through suffering. We have posted this link on our own blog and many of our friends here in MI (and throughout the states) are listening. We love your family dearly and will continue to pray faithfully. The Lord is near to the broken-hearted. I look forward with eager anticipation to see how the Lord will continue to use you, his faithful servant, and all that you have learned in the school of suffering. You are a tremendous blessing to us.

In Christ,
Kellie

2 Corinthians 5

Our Heavenly Dwelling

¹Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands. ²Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling, ³because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked. ⁴For while we are in this tent, we groan and are burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed but to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. ⁵Now it is God who has made us for this very purpose and has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.

⁶Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord. ⁷We live by faith, not by sight. ⁸We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord. ⁹So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it. ¹⁰For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.

The Ministry of Reconciliation

¹¹Since, then, we know what it is to fear the Lord, we try to persuade men. What we are is plain to God, and I hope it is also plain to your conscience. ¹²We are not trying to commend ourselves to you again, but are giving you an opportunity to take pride in us, so that you can answer those who take pride in what is seen rather than in what is in the heart. ¹³If we are out of our mind, it is for the sake of God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you. ¹⁴For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. ¹⁵And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.

¹⁶So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. ¹⁷Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! ¹⁸All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: ¹⁹that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. ²⁰We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God. ²¹God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
