A LETTER FROM DR LANGSTON


On Sunday December 7, Dr Rick Langston's mother, Sally Clark Langston, went home to be with the Lord. Here are some of his thoughts:

"Mum lived a full life of 92 years and did not suffer in her final days. She had a sweet spirit all the way till the end of her life here on earth.
"Mom's funeral was a celebration of her life. My sister and I both shared at the service. . . . I thank God for the very special mother and father He gave me. I am truly blessed by the good qualities they manifested and by the love they showed me all their lives here on earth. I am very thankful that we shall one day be reunited in heaven. I am so thankful for my sister who took such care of mom as they went through the journey of mom's final years together. . . .
"Thank you for your prayers for me and my family."

About Me

In the Old Testament in the Bible, there was a man named Jacob who "wrestled with God and man." He wouldn't let God go until God answered his prayers. God admired that and renamed him Israel, "the one who fought or wrestled and prevailed". He fought with man--his inner man--and conquered his own weaknesses. He's my hero. He is what I hope God and man see me to be.
