If it does, then they are happy and he will continue making disciples for Christ for another day. If he does not wake up the next day, then he will be at home with Christ. Jessie and his wife are at peace with that fact.

Having been through a 10 year fight with terminal congestive heart and kidney failure, I am happy to hear that he and his wife have reached this state. No moment of the day is taken for granted and life is seen with new eyes. May GOD bless him with one of his miracles.

Not to distract from this pastors focus but to highlight his courage and faith, I'm posting my next comments.

Very sorry to hear of your health issues Dave. I agree with your comments about not taking life for granted. I wsh we all could get to that point long before we get ill. The world would be a better place.

I won't put a link to it so I won't violate any forum rules. However, Andy Stanley is doing a great sermon series that gives excellent guidance and hope for this day and time. It's called, "Tough As Nails" and can be found in The North Point Church website.

This young pastor and his wife are living as Andy encourages us all to live in his messages. The message is good even if one is not Christian.

I missed this thread when it was originally posted. Thanks for bumping it up and also thanks for the incredible update.

Will keep this young pastor, his family and those he comes in contact with in my thoughts and prayers. It's amazing what God can do in and through people that accept His will and make the most of circumstances instead of spending their time feeling sorry for themselves and praying for God's will to be changed.
