I enjoyed just sitting there and watching it take place. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Kat,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comment. I agree that the family did the right thing by being open about it. I also commend the leadership of the church for going about this in a biblical way. It was so refreshing! I think God was glorified through it, and I hope the people here got a little glimpse of heaven while this was happening.<BR/><BR/>EricErichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07306854704766653209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354626964012460623.post-86843602181769389932007-05-06T23:22:00.000-04:002007-05-06T23:22:00.000-04:00Eric-I think the key to what you experienced was t...Eric-<BR/>I think the key to what you experienced was the honesty of this young lady and her family regarding her/their situation. Too often, we find it difficult to reach out to someone in need because they refuse to admit it. Reconciliation and restoration can only happen when need is expressed openly. That is a picture of God making us right with Himself through Christ, isn't it.<BR/>When there are no secrets, healing can take place. <BR/>KatElder's Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15044802341855654059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354626964012460623.post-4143648053450207922007-05-06T13:56:00.000-04:002007-05-06T13:56:00.000-04:00Eric,Wow!

And, it is so much better than sweeping it under the rug and the whispers and gossip and "knowing glances" that usually accompany this. I pray that God teaches this group of believers something important about love through this process. Thank you again!<BR/><BR/>-AlanAlan Knoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07452247058550736803noreply@blogger.com
