Susan Lafferty“Christ the Lord is risen today! Alleluia!”
Our hope sings through warring-world brokenness. Where pain and fears are on the rise.
Destruction and devastating loss keep trying to write the story.
Evil roars. Seeking to hold captive peoples and nations.
The gospel. Never failing to amaze and confound.
I think about this at Vacation Bible School this summer. In a room full of kids hearing testimonies from those sent to the ends of the earth. Sent to share the Good News in places where He is not known.
Then we bring it home to where they are. Today. Sitting on a carpet in an air-conditioned church building.
Jesus came that they too might have eternal life. And we tell the way of salvation.
In memory of Glenn Ingouf, my mother.
On November 10, 2024, she passed through death into unimaginable joy and immeasurable peace. She rests now in the presence of her Savior, Lord, and King.
These are some personal thoughts I posted on January 23, 2022, when she celebrated her 90th birthday. I’ve added some recent updates.
She was one of the strongest, most determined women I’ve ever known. And funny. A devoted follower of Christ. And gifted teacher. Wife, mom, grandmother (Nani), and, just this year, great-grandmother.
Countless are the ways her life impacted mine. Every time I try to put it down on paper, I fall short of words.
Give thanks to the Lord with me. Hers was a life well-lived for His glory.
