In I Corinthians 15:42-46 there is a promise...
42 It will be like that with bodies that are raised from the dead. The body that is planted does not last forever. The body that is raised from the dead lasts forever. 43 It is planted without honor. But it is raised in glory. It is planted in weakness. But it is raised in power.
44 It is planted as an earthly body. But it is raised as a spiritual body.
Just as there is an earthly body, there is also a spiritual body. 45 It is written, "The first man Adam became a living person," (Genesis 2:7) The last Adam became a spirit that gives life. 46 What is spiritual did not come first. What is earthly came first. What is spiritual came after that.

Rely on the promises of God and take comfort in knowing that you can:

Psalm 55:22 Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall.

Our prayers are with you. Sheena, Dominique and Kyle

I was very saddened to learn this morning of Ms.Johnson's passing. I usually drive Ms.Johnson a few times a week to Yale New Haven for treatment. Ms.Johnson was very polite,friendly,outgoing and optimistic. We always had conversation on the way to Yale. Ms.johnson spoke of her doughter and son many of time. Of the limited time that I knew Ms.Johnson ,she never seemed to be over concerned of her condition as she accepted God's way of calling her home. May Ms.Johnson walk with the Lord and free her soul.Let her spirit live and soar forever. God bless you Ms.Johnson Judd (metro taxi # 401)

I have been in constant prayer for you and the rest of the family that God will give you the strength to endure. Earth has no sorrows that Heaven cannot heal. God will truly lift burdens if we stay in HIS will. Love you much.
