This Friday, March 28, is the anniversary of Nanci’s homegoing. It’s hard to believe it’s been three years since she went to be with Jesus. I miss her every day, and am so thankful the great reunion awaits.

In de ruim vier jaar dat mijn geliefde vrouw Nanci kanker had, kregen we veel goede en slechte berichten. We zaten in een achtbaan van emoties tijdens haar drie operaties, drie bestralingsrondes, en drie chemokuren.

Gedurende die meer as vier jaar waartydens my geliefde vrou Nanci kanker in die gesig gestaar het, was daar baie goeie verslae en baie slegtes. Ons het ’n mallemeule van emosies beleef dwarsdeur haar drie operasies, drie rondtes bestraling en drie rondtes chemo.

God isn’t going to abandon His creation. He’s going to restore it. Earth’s destruction will not be permanent but temporary. Just as our destroyed bodies will be raised as new bodies, the destroyed Earth will be raised as a New Earth. 

In his conversation with Brad Formsa on The WOW Factor, Randy shares personal reflections on the loss of his beloved wife, Nanci. He offers profound insights into navigating grief through faith, the power of God’s promises, and the importance of community in times of loss. They talk about his booklet Grieving with Hope: Walking with Jesus in Heartbreak, and Randy discusses practical ways to process grief while holding onto the certainty of eternal life through Jesus Christ. 

Two years ago, I did an interview with Davey Blackburn, who hosts the Nothing Is Wasted Podcast. I think because the conversation was between two people who have experienced suffering and the death of a spouse, I felt like God's Spirit was present in an unusual way during the interview.

A reader wrote our ministry, “For several years my husband and I have enjoyed giving most of our discretionary income to our church and various missionaries. But lately we have been counseled that we need to be more ‘responsible’ about preparing for our future.”

While God certainly does not value animals as much as He does people of every tribe, nation and language, not only the creation account but also the flood account proves God does value animals of every species, genus, and family.

May we remember that the ordinary, daily, and mundane acts of faithfulness and kindness that no one else knows are well-known by God. He is watching. He is keeping track.
