Okay, I will give you a little peek – - -
I did just break down thinking of Alice’s beautiful and simple faith especially at Christmas time. The kids were wonderful. But that Alice isn’t here is felt deeply, very deeply. Oh that dear, lovely presence. Lord, have mercy; Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy.
Of course, this week there is no sermon to post. Incarnate Word gave me the Sunday off. Paul, David and Ashlei, Peter and I took Al and Sue Kubow to Zion, Detroit. It’s a good thing, too, since they had us and Alice prominently in the prayers. It was good to see our Zion family again. Father Braden had a magnificent sermon on John the Baptist and faith in Christ.
Thanks to everyone who were involved and/or expressed your sympathy and kindnesses this past week at the passing of dear Alice. It was so comforting to see so many of our friends and family as well as to receive greetings also from afar. We are sort of tired today. So we will recuperate and rest as best we can before getting back to various duties.
And thank you for your understanding. There will be a sermon next week, God willing.

I can’t take this anymore. Everyone has “learned” a mispronunciation from our current POTUS. Everyone says, as he says, “re-dis-tri-BEAUT-iv.” Drives me nuts! The proper pronunciation is, “re-dis-TRIB-u-tive”!!!! Say it five times…out loud. Grrrrrrrrrr!
