All I Really Needed to Know I Learned From My Mother

by Dwight K. Nelson

On Monday morning my beloved mother (Barbara Watts Nelson Rienderhoff) peacefully fell asleep in Jesus while resting at her home in Banning CA. The attending nurse remarked that it was as peaceful a way to die as you could wish. She was 88. I’m so grateful I got to spend three days with her on her birthday just before Thanksgiving.

And while we with our brother Greg and her husband Bert grieve Mother’s death, there is relief in knowing her suffering is over.

New Year House of Prayer

Let’s join together to welcome the New Year with prayer. Given how 2017 is already shaping up to become, isn’t it high time God’s people band together in collective prayer? “Call upon Me in the day of trouble and I will deliver you; and you will glorify Me” (Psalm 50:13). “We should pray as earnestly for the descent of the Holy Spirit as the disciples prayed on the day of Pentecost. If they needed it at that time, we need it more today” (Prayer 119). So come with your Bible. Let’s pray.
