We leave today after worship to go to the airport. We will spend the night in Pittsburgh with Elizabeth’s parents, Irene (87) and Ed (90) Deenihan. We will then drive Monday morning to attend the Memorial service that has been mentioned earlier on the blog.
It’s too long a story for another time, but in the weird and wonderful way that only God’s Providence can work, John and Blanche Heidengren are not only dear friends in ministry, but we also overlap at Silver Bay on Lake George, a place where both our families, from two different traditions, go regularly. It was only a few summers ago that our family was playing cards together with theirs at the Heidengren’s cabin on Oneida Bay. It is all so unimaginably sad, yet we keep our vice grip on the power and truth of the resurrection, or rather, better said, the resurrected Lord keeps his vice grip on us–KSH.
Well and poignantly said, Kendall. Go with God.
