Passing by....

Just passing through - all of us are just passing through. I seem to be harking back to the same thoughts lately. Time and where it goes when we aren't paying attention. Friends who just keep silently passing by and then...

Another one just left for a better place last evening. Isaac Velasquez was a warrior of the faith. He was steadfast in his beliefs and trust in God, though life had taken a toll on his body. His body had grown weak, and shaky but his commitment to living a life pleasing to God was strong until the end. We should rejoice at his going for his battles are over and he is the victor.

The Apostle Paul wrote that "...for me to live is Christ, and to die is gain." Bro. Velasquez has gained a rest from the struggle and a promise of the Resurrection.
