God is a loving God, and He is good at what He does in those that love Him. In pressing on, moving on to the mark; being the man that God wants us to be. Yes, being different from other men may seem to have no sense. But there is a lot that God does that we don't seem to understand, yes in time, He will show His reason.

Wesley and children, my prayers and faith are joined with you during this time. You enjoyed Sheryl for the time alloted by God and now what can we say except to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. May your witness, faith and hope in Christ Jesus carry you through the days, weeks and months ahead. Toni and Tim (Darrell) Washington also send their love and prayers.
