I’m just fine with God being bigger than my ability to understand everything about Him and all His ways! An infinite God that can be grasped by a finite mind is both a theological and logical impossibility.

Because Jesus lives, Jenny lives and we shall live also! (John 14:19) 🙌🏼 “Wherefore comfort one another with these words.” (1 Thessalonians 4:18)

A funeral is a university for the heart! “It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart...the heart is made better.” (Ecclesiastes 7:2-3)

“I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.” (Psalm 34:1-3)

The Throne of Grace is a real place, and the help that comes from there is just as real!

On Mother’s Day, my children and I are grateful beyond words to the Lord for the years He gave Jenny to us. She was a remarkable wife and mother who stepped out of P31 into our lives, and then from our lives into the very presence of Christ. We say with her, Jesus is worthy!

I cannot really put into words the overwhelming joy of hearing my 15 year old son walk through the house this morning singing, “Almighty, Unchangeable God”! 🙌🏼

We have a new driver in the house, but the thing I love the best is that she desires Jesus to be in the driver’s seat of her life!

Praising God for souls saved here in Aruba yesterday and for 6 great years He’s given to my brother-in-law and sister, Matt & Naomi Shields, in Oranjestad. They started the church in 2015, and God is blessing greatly!

If Christ’s tomb in Jerusalem is empty, nothing else matters! If it isn’t, then nothing at all matters!

On our drive to church yesterday morning, my son, Judson (15), prayed… “Lord, help us to remember that even though we’re strangers and pilgrims on this earth, we’re not Homeless!” 🙌🏼

The shadow of a dog cannot bite; the shadow of a sword cannot kill; the shadow of death cannot destroy us. Let us not, therefore, be afraid.

"We [Christians] are strangers and pilgrims, but we are not homeless." - Judson Deatrick

“Be killing sin or sin will be killing you.” ~ John Owen

I’m so grateful today for my veteran Grandpa! George W. Deatrick was a “Tank Killer” in WW2, and came home on the Victory Ship Wheaton! He endured many sleepless nights both during and after the war, so that I can put my family to bed in peace tonight!

“It is one thing to do the right thing, and it is another thing entirely to do the right thing with the right spirit.” ~ Gary Thomas

I’ve had the privilege of doing this for over 20 years now, and it still overwhelms me that I get to do this!

When my kiddos were setting up the nativity scene, I’m so glad that they at least separated the arrival of the wisemen by the distance of a napkin holder! 😂

New family photo, including grand-baby number one on the way! God has been so good and faithful to us. Thank you for your prayers for us this past year. God’s grace is sufficient, and Jesus is worthy!

Praising God for His ongoing goodness to us. Within a month’s time He gave me a new bride, appropriately named Grace, and a first grandchild, Carolyn Wren. Bottom left pic is 5 generations alive to love and serve Jesus!
