Nanci is with Jesus. So happy for her. Sad for us. But the happiness for her triumphs over the sadness. Grieving is ahead, and it will be hard, but these last years and especially this last month have given us a headstart on the grieving process.

A timely prayer request: on Saturday my wife Nanci told me she felt she didn’t have much time left in this world. This morning, 11 a.m. PT, my daughters and their families will all gather at our house.

Nanci’s ready to be with Jesus. But she wanted, and of course I concur, to speak into the lives of our kids and especially our grandkids. I would deeply appreciate your prayers for her and for this unique and I suspect unforgettable family gathering.

On Easter my beloved Nanci won't have to say, “He is risen.” She can look right into His eyes and say, “YOU are risen!” ♥️

Thank you to everyone who prayed for our family yesterday. I seriously can’t imagine any family having a more Christ-centered sendoff and short-term goodbye of a loved one then we had. It was truly all I could’ve hoped for and prayed for.

My wife Nanci told our grandsons, as she lay dying, “Don't become bitter at God for what He chooses to do. He loves me even more than I love myself and He knows what's best. Trust Him no matter what hard things you go through in your life.” ref.ly/Pr3.5f

Giving a teen boy unfiltered Internet access in his room or his pocket is like filling his closet with pornographic magazines and saying, “Don’t look at them.” If that seems harsh, you don’t understand how many young men are becoming enslaved to porn in their own homes.

If Nanci is right that not much time remains, then this will likely be the final gathering IN THIS WORLD of our tribe of 11. Thankfully, eternal life transcends the grave. This world now under the Curse is a broken world waiting and longing to be redeemed (Romans 8 ).

Sickness, loss, grief, and death will find us in life. But we can trust that Heaven’s joys will compensate for our present sorrow.

Don’t feel your prayers were not answered, Many of them were, and many others were answered in a better way than we could ever ask. Overwhelmed with gratitude to the One full of grace and truth, Randy

All God’s children really will live happily ever after. This is not a fairytale, it is the blood-bought promise of Jesus. What a great and kind God He is. As of a few hours ago, Nanci now lives where she sees this firsthand, in the place where Joy truly is the air she breathes.
