Feb2014_Faith and Living . . .
by Pastor Gary Levens
Many times during my ministry life, I’ve sat with someone who is terminally ill and chatted and prayed but mostly just listened as they share things that come right from the heart. When someone is about to die they are not interested in idle chit chat but rather they’re ready to talk about issues that are close to the bone. Life issues.
