• “Heaven is not here, it’s There. If we were given all we wanted here, our hearts would settle for this world rather than the next. God is forever luring us up and away from this one, wooing us to Himself and His still invisible Kingdom, where we will certainly find what we so keenly long for.” – Elisabeth Elliot

    What a great life and testament? Despite her handicap, she knew that life was a gift and God's grace to her. Her labor for the Lord was not to build up personal merit but to give thanks. I will reference her in a sermon on 9/25/2022 when the theme is "Evangelical hymns of the Anglical Communion." Thank you, Charlotte. Praying for the repose of your eternal life. Amen.
