Hebrews 11:5 By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death. In an earlier blog you said you and Pam were going to "die" when your baby was born dead that you were going to go through that. You were in it already. I love you. James 4:8 Come near to God and he will come near to you. This is a promise. Thank you for your blog and sharing, these cause me to remember scripture. You have always been a joy to visit with because of our bond in Christ and His amazing grace that we do not deserve. Yet I tend to treat others as if they deserve less than His grace as I presume upon that which I have received. Hebrews 10:32 Remember those earlier days after you had received the light, when you stood your ground in a great contest in the face of suffering. I needed to blog too. I have some people to ask their forgiveness. Bless you. “Look,” he said, “I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.”

Anugrah and I just spent an hour earlier in the afternoon reading this in detail. I know this is cathartic for you, but you should know that it is also blessing us. Keep sharing your thoughts out loud. Love you bro. Sunil. John,

The chapter ends not with the author saying that Stephen died, but that, "He fell sleep." It's a pattern in the bible to use that expression for someone who is dead. It's like God doesn't want us to say that. I've got to think on this some more. I just realized after writing this, how amazing that passage is from Acts 7.
