I just learned of the passing of a great man. My pastor for over 20 years, Pastor Chuck Smith. I rejoice with others that he is in Paradise with the God he loved, in a new body no longer having to fight cancer. I also mourn with so many at the loss here on earth. His smile and joy and heart for the lost was amazing. He taught at church last Sunday, the man would not stop until our Father called him home. What a legacy he has left behind.
My quote for today is from The Chronicles of Narnia - The Last Battle, by C.S. Lewis. Seems to be perfect as Pastor Chuck has begun this new chapter "of the Great Story which no one on earth has read".
“And as He spoke, He no longer looked to them like a lion; but the things
that began to happen after that were so great and beautiful that I cannot write
them. And for us this is the end of all the stories, and we can most truly say
that they all lived happily ever after. But for them it was only the beginning
of the real story. All their life in this world and all their adventures in
Narnia had only been the cover and the title page: now at last they were
beginning Chapter One of the Great Story which no one on earth has read: which
goes on forever: in which every chapter is better than the one before.”
