the main reason i haven't updated this blog recently (other than the holidays just being a wonderful, crazy, busy time), is that rick's mom died last week.
she was a lady who had a lot of pain, health problems, regrets, and despair in her life - but there were also jokes and laughter, her beautiful organ and piano music, and her absolute love for her son.
we're grieving our loss today, but we're also thanking God for the healing that took place the last few days of her life on earth, the Truth that was spoken and shared, and the fact that she's now experiencing true joy and peace for the very first time.
