I am sorry for not posting my blog for the last several days. It has been a whirlwind of activity since the death of Danny Gans. The Church at South Las Vegas has responded in a great way with prayers and support for the family. They so appreciate more than anything else the prayers of all the Christ Followers.

The scripture found in Psalm 30:5 states that weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning really speaks to me. Seeing families go through loss is something that one must endure. It is never easy to lose anyone but a close family member is such a tragic loss for us but an addition to heaven. It is during the times of enduring that we can count on the Joy that will eventually come in the morning.

Joy will eventually come out of the mourning as we keep our eyes on the one who gives us the joy and his name is JESUS. Jesus is the one who is the lifter of our soul when we don't know what to do. As we focus our loss on Jesus and cry out to him and allow ourselves to go through the valley of death is when we will come out on the other side with Joy.

So it may be night time for some of us but the Son will rise soon in our lives to chase the darkness away with His incredible light.
