Crossing Cultures Making Disciples Memoir

In memory

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.

Mom and Dad. 2024.

Unfolding year

Unfolding year before us. Already scheduled with best-laid plans that can so quickly come apart. Scatter. 

The unexpected changes calendars. Disrupts orderly lives. Next steps. 

A look back at the past year is case-in-point.

Unto us

Unto us a Child is born.

Unto us. In a broken world. Where sorrow runs deep. And grief overwhelms. 

Where loss breaks our hearts.

And we forget to breathe.
