Dear John and Doves .. I just wanted to express my appreciation for the site (I haven't written in years, but read often). And also, my sadness that is tempered with joy at the passing of Charles Holler this last weekend.
I shared this with friends ..

Thanks, Cathy.
We will soon see Charles in the air!
John
I don't know why I'm crying so much 🐈 .. I'm just so happy for our dear brother Charles Holler to finally be with Jesus 💜✝️💜 ~ oh brother, we sure do miss you .. we pray we will see you SOON and eternally celebrate the glory of our King and LORD, Jesus Christ .. Savior Messiah .. rest in the one who is worthy of all praise, dear friend, Charles ..
Kenneth Beer shared this on the news of Charles going home yesterday ~~~
✝️ Charles IS a good man and we all know where he is! And now he's a veteran cheering us on as the writer of Hebrews said, although I will miss him until homecoming!My friend Eugene Peterson paraphrased it well:
Do you see what this means—all these pioneers who blazed the way, all these veterans cheering us on? It means we’d better get on with it. Strip down, start running—and never quit! No extra spiritual fat, no parasitic sins. Keep your eyes on Jesus, who both began and finished this race we’re in. Study how he did it. Because he never lost sight of where he was headed—that exhilarating finish in and with God—he could put up with anything along the way: Cross, shame, whatever. And now he’s there, in the place of honor, right alongside God.
(from me, Cathy .. adding):
This is a very special song, indeed .. I want to mention, be sure and listen all the way to the end, thru the reprise done only as Bill Gaither does them .. and Charlotte Ritchie .. what a voice! And I'm sure there is our Charles .. goin' to Heaven a-shoutin'! LOVE for the Father and the Son 💜Maranatha! The KING is coming! ~~ Cathy Dunson

John 1:1-4 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
