A NOTE FROM JACK
From Jack Dorman, long time friend of Sharon, elder, and Pastor Emeritus, “…Sharon often talked of longing to be with Jesus and her dear husband…We are comforted to know where she is. I pray for us all and rejoice in this passage from Romans 8.
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. for the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God…who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. For in this hope we were saved…But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.
Portions of Romans 8: 18-24 ESV
