Romans 8
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

What does the Love of Christ feel like?
What does the love of Christ feel like to my Daddy.
Is my Father warm and safe? Does he feel love? The Love that is mentioned above?
In this season of Love safety and closeness is there love and safety and closeness at a hospital bed in Narvon Pennsylvania, in a room marked Marshall Ferguson?
Please Jesus love him because we are separated by a great "power" much larger than we can tame. We trust these words we trust you, please shine your love to my Dad today.

Gone before we were ready

Today as I left the nursing home in a torrent of emotion, my eye caught sight of the sun blazing a pinkish hue, setting in the western sky across the snow-covered fields. I wanted a picture. This is the view from Dad's window. However, in the time it took for me to drive to the end of the home's driveway and back again, fumbling with my camera, the sun sank lower and lower out of view. The words slipped out of my mouth before I realized how poignant and symbolic they were: "it's gone before I was ready."

Life's evening sun is sinking low,
a few more days and I must go,
to meet the deeds that I have done,
where there will be no setting sun.

GOD IS BIGGER

Bigger Than Any Mountain (lyrics)

Bigger than all my problems, Bigger than all my fears
God is bigger than any mountain that I can or cannot see
Bigger than all my questions, Bigger than anything
God is bigger than any mountain that I can or cannot see
Bigger than all the shadows that fall across my back
God is bigger than any mountain that I can or cannot see
Bigger than all the confusion, Bigger than anything
God is bigger than any mountain that I can or cannot see
Bigger than all the giants, fear and unbelief
God is bigger than any mountain I can or cannot see
Bigger than all my hangups, Bigger than anything
God is bigger than any mountain that I can or cannot see
