On the Road

This is my first Blog-Away-From-Home.  I'm writing from a motel room in Frederick MD.  The death a friend has brought me to this place.  The body of Pastor Louis Purks will be buried here tomorrow.  There will likely be many friends, fellow Pastors, Church members, and family gathered around his grave.  Lots of Amens! and many tears will be shed. 

But Lou Purks will not be here tomorrow because he is on the road also, on the Calvary Road.  When he closed his eyes in death last Monday morning he opened them in the presence of his Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.  Today was his first Sunday in Heaven.  I wonder what it will be like to spend the Lord's Day with the Lord?

 Well, one more friend in heaven ...
