Back to Weekly Blogging in Earnest

The last blog post I wrote was on June 27, a few days before my family and I left for a much needed vacation together. Then, a few days later, my father-in-law called to tell us he was in the hospital with severe stomach pain. This was his third hospitalization in a few months. It was the beginning of a period of mulitple hospitalizations in five facilities in two different states. 

He was suffering from an aggresive form of prostate cancer that put him in a rare group of people who do not respond to treatments, even when the cancer is found very early on. He died in a hospice facility two weeks ago. 

Thankfully, in that time, we were able to spent a lot of time together. Most importantly, he reconciled with the Lord after many decades. This brought him and us a lot of peace.

I am beginning to return to some things that I had to set aside for the last several weeks. Not the least of which is this blog. What I plan to do is to recap my sermons from each week, to provide reinforcement for those who listen to them, and to provide biblical teaching about important matters for those who like to read this blog.

Thank you so much for reading! Please let me know if you would like to talk more about Jesus or the Southside Church of Christ in Shelbyville, TN.

Sincerely in Christ,

Tim Gunnells
