A Message from Juanita Weakley

"I would like to take a few moments and say a BIG 'Thank You' to Tennessee Pastors, Members, and Friends, for being so sweet and kind to me during the death of my husband, Gene. On our journey from earth to Heaven, we were blessed to be able to minister with you for (14) wonderful years. We enjoyed being with you, at your local church, home, etc., you were a great blessing to us.

Many local churches sent beautiful floral arrangements, some of you sent personally, many many cards, phone calls, and expressions of love. I will never, in this life, be able to repay you for your kindness to me. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, thank you, thank you. You are the greatest people on earth, in my book.

My special thanks to Brother and Sister McKinley for all they did. He even canceled (out of town) appointments to be with us (Jeff, Regina, and me).They were at our home continually ministering and helping me. I could not have made it without their help. Their son, Shaun, helped me so much with the programs, etc. My Pastor, Verlin Thornton; was continually ministering to us at our home and the service, the singers, Londa and Dwight, Duke and Shirlene, speakers, etc., the list goes on and on.

Everything happened so quickly. The doctor told him on March 14th, he had inoperable cancer, he passed away on March 28th (2 weeks later), with a wonderful group of pastors, members, and friends singing ,songs of victory, to him for about 1 1/2 hours. He slipped away in the arms of Jesus.

Please pray for me, it was so hard to see him go, even though I know he is in a better place, he preached about Heaven for (63) years, now it is a reality to him.

Come Down From That Ivory Tower

Hebrews 11 has become known as the "Hall of Faith." The reason is quite simple. The writer spends a great deal of time giving a role call of the heroes of the faith. After all, this chapter is about faith, and what better way to teach faith than to illustrate with some real-life examples. Mos of the people in this chapter are well-known, at least by anyone who spent time squirming in a Sunday School class as a small child, or who watched the late-night movies on the local channels featuring their stories. Who were they? Abel, Enoch and Noah. Abel pleased God with his excellent offering, Enoch was so close to God that he actually walked with God to the point that one evening, while walking God said to Enoch, "we are closer to my house than we are yours, so why don't you just go home with me?" Of course, Noah built an ark (according to God's instructions) that saved mankind from total destruction. Then there was Abraham...the father of the faithful. He...
