I would rather live my life as if there is a God, and die to find out there
isn't.  Than live my life as if there isn't a God, and die to find out there
is.

ABC's of Salvation:
Admit you are a sinner.  Rom 3:23
Believe in Christ.  Acts 16:31
Confess your faith.  Rom 10:9-10

If you believe there is not a God.  Than just die.  For without a God you
can do this.

The national anthem in Hell is:  "I Did It My Way"

Some of you will remember that my husband Chris's father Manfred had been
sent to the hospital with a brain tumor just before Christmas on December
20, 2012.. He subsequently had surgery to biopsy the tumor. 
The tumor proved to be malignant and Manfred's health had been going
downhill ever since the surgery. Manfred  had let the family know that he
did not want to live impaired by the tumor. This is a comfort to know even
though losing a loved one is still hard. His battle with the cancer was a
hard one and since we know he knows the Lord, death in this case comes as
release and relief in many ways and we celebrate Manfred's homecoming. We
find special comfort in the Perries' song "Celebrate Me Home" which you can
listen to below.

Some of you also know of our neverending moving story. Manfred had been
involved with that by sometimes helping Chris and me with some errands or
little practical things. We had hoped and prayed he would still be or get
well enough again to know that we had moved and were settled in the new
place. It didn't come to that but Manfred died just about at the exact time
when Chris registered our upcoming move with authorities as we do have a
moving date by now. Prayers on the move are appreciated  but also and
especially that with our wonderful  loving and gracious God that somehow
Manfred in his passing might have an awareness that we can move and all is
well as this was important to him.



Some of you know that We were not that close to Chris's family as they
objected to our marriage. Even though they were Christians. We could  and
would have liked to share a lot more than we did - and that was certainly
not just the other party's fault. So there are many missed opportunities and
a second song that  made us think of and that we would like to share is Jim
Brady's "Dont Miss the chance" 
it is a beautiful song and can be found at:

Please share in our happiness over Chris's dad no longer being suffering and
in pain and pray for peace and comfort for the family, friends and church he
leaves behind.

thanks bunches and God bless,

IN Christ,

Doris and Chris
