When he was little, we called him Hurricane Asher, crashing through life with an exuberance and momentum that left both excitement and chaos in his wake. He was busy. His mind never ceased to amaze us with how much he remembered, how quickly he learned, and how much he analyzed and reasoned.

I’m cold, y’all.

[Worship] is on earth, but that place on earth is also part of heaven; it is now, but that time also strains forward to the end; it is in the world of action, but also in the new Jerusalem after the judgment; it recalls the saints, but also wishes to join them; it is our worshiping activity and ministry, but more truly the ministry of Christ, and it only occurs among us as we live in Christ.

Last year. Thyroid cancer recurrence. I had surgery and radioactive iodine treatment and 3 weeks separated from my loves.
This year. We find out if it all worked. They don’t know if there is still tumor in my neck or not. And because of how high my treatment dosage was, they had to wait a year to find out, because scanning my neck requires another, much smaller, dose of radioactive iodine.
