Some of you may know of my Pastor's situation with his wife, and others may not. So, allow me to catch all of us up. Our Pastor's Wife, Sue Zinn, has been battling bone cancer for several months now. She has had some good days, but most have been filled with pain. Through it all, I have watched my Pastor proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ with a passion rarely seen. Even in the midst of the biggest storm of their lives, they have chosen to use it as an opportunity to give God glory. A few minutes before our first morning worship service, he approached me to say that he was going home. He needed to be with Sue. Just hearing that, I knew that things could not be good. It would take something very serious to take him out of the pulpit. By the end of the worship service we had received word that Sue could leave us at any moment.
As of tonight's worship service, Sue was still holding on. The family is at her bedside and soaking up these last moments the best they can. Please lift this family up in prayer. God is still on the throne, and they are grieving as those who HAVE HOPE! Yet, grieving just the same. Thank you for your prayers. She is only 51 years old. Yet, God's ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts are higher than our thoughts. He has a perfect will, and at this moment, it appears as though that involves calling Sue home. Nonetheless, we will praise Him and glorify Him for His goodness. His blessings are immeasurable, and His mercies are new every morning.
