Beyond the Sunset

Sunsets hold a variety of memories for me. I remember riding through the mountains with my husband. We'd stop and marvel as the sun made its exit in a brilliant array of colors.

They mark the end of a day and the beginning of night. Little did we know we would soon face our own sunset. As life ebbed from him, the night season began for me. Tomorrow is the third anniversary of his journey beyond the sunset.

It wasn't an easy time, but God carried me in His arms. Now, the sun is peaking over the horizon. The dark night is giving way to shafts of light. I will go on. As Psalm 118:17 says, "I shall not die but live and declare the works of the Lord."

Joy comes in the morning.

A Writer Goes Home

On July 21, 2008, the Christian writing community bid farewell to one of its own. Author Kristy Dykes (1951-2008) went home to be with the Lord after a long and courageous battle with brain cancer. She will be remembered not only for her writing legacy, but also for the grace and faith she displayed throughout her illness.

Our prayers are with her husband, Milton, and her family.
