Welcome to Ron's Blog!

Well,
I finally joined the world of the bloggers. I hope this new means of communication will be a source of inspiration as well as information.
As I write these words, I am reminded once again of the brevity of life. I have had so many friends pass through the "valley of the shadow of death" in these past few months. For those who have received the Lord as their Savior, it is but a glorious journey. He has gone before them to "prepare a place" far better than any place I have ever been or seen. I know that many of their loved ones miss them deeply. I miss them as well. But those who knew Jesus would never want to come back to this land but rather stay in the "land that is fairer than day." We may not have much longer ourselves. We need to be sharing our faith with those that are not prepared to make the appointment, but will one day (Heb. 9:27). I have been blessed to serve as a pastor for 18 years in two different churches. I have conducted many funeral services but never preached a single persons funeral. They did that while they were alive on planet earth. Today, Lord help all of us to preach it well.

Ron
