Rough Week.

It's been a rough week around these parts, but I thought I would leave you with some inspiration I needed to hear today.

From The Voice of the Martyrs
To preface the quote, a pastor in Columbia, his wife and two children met for church on Sunday morning. At 11:00am a group of guerrillas walked out of the jungle and called the pastor, Manuel, outside. They shot him five times, killing him.

"Gloria (Manuel's wife) ran outside and gathered her husband's body in her arms, kissing his face. With the help of the children, she dragged his body into the shade of a nearby tree. Then she brought her Bible from the house and began to speak to the neighbors who were gathered around the body. With a shaky voice she read from the Gospel of John. 'This is what my husband believed. He didn't do anything wrong, but he was willing to give his life for what he believed. Satan didn't win the battle here today, God did."

Thank you God, for renewed perspective.
